Let’s take a look at the different versions consumers can use on a daily basis, considering that this oil provides great nutritional values and can help different types of skin.*** ****** When taking care of the skin, consumers still ignore many things, like how much an ingredient is good if applied in certain amounts or in combination with other **ingredients for skin care**. Other concerns involve the side effects an element can bring about besides the benefits it can provide, and that is where we find the uncertainty; is olive oil comedogenic? That is why, it is time to get to know this **natural oil a bit better**.

You should know that in, its pure form, it may be a little. But, when reduced to 25% concentrations and mixed with other **oils like mineral oil** – which is usually what happens – it will definitely not clog your pores. Now, there are some common misconceptions about mineral oil being unsafe, but that is not true. Here are some ideas about it: - Mineral oil is considered one of the safest **ingredients in cosmetics**, it contains many hypoallergenic ingredients that keep the skin moisturized at all times. - It has some sort of bad reputation because it comes from petroleum and is also used in many domestic duties, but its **benefits are completely** proven on the skin. - The mineral oil that **is used in skin care** is quite far from its basic form, that is why it is very common in the industry. It is known to be very safe and efficient. The combination of olive oil and mineral oil is one of the most common forms in the industry, that is why it is regularly considered as one of [best emollients in cosmetics](https://blog.bluesun-international.com/emollient-in-cosmetics?hsLang=en-us) by many formulators. But there are more forms. ## **What Olive Oil Works Better?** There are several levels of olive oil concentrations in the market, including the olive squalane from our Dermanet line. The important thing to remember is what makes a **product comedogenic** or not is the concentration amount of specific ingredients and its mixture with others, it should not clog pores and needs to have excellent compatibility with the skin. Like the olive squalane from our line, for instance. [Dermanet Squalane](https://www.bluesun-international.com/products/skin-care-actives/dermanet-squalane?hsLang=en-us) is an olive oil derivative that helps to smooth and soften the skin, refilling its lipids and providing excellent compatibility with the skin since the natural sebum contains at least 12% of squalene, which matches in a great way with external olive squalane. The main olive oil types are: - **Refined olive oil** - **Virgin olive oil** - **Extra virgin olive oil** - **Organic extra virgin olive oil** Organic extra virgin olive oil is highly recommended to get all the benefits of olive oil.   ## **Other Oils that Are Not Comedogenic ** Besides olive oil, there are other **natural oils** that will not clog pores of consumers, including the following ones that rate 0% as being **comedogenic**: - **Sunflower oil**: rich in vitamins that improve skin health - **Safflower oil**: very hydrating and used as a carrier oil in the skin - **Argan oil**: extremely moisturizing thanks to its rich content of **Vitamin E** - **Hemp seed oil**: excellent to absorb **vitamin D** If the consumer has **acne** prone skin, it is advisable to use the least **comedogenic oil**. ## [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4020212/bd1fdc68-8853-4458-9b87-ed29cb23515e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4020212/bd1fdc68-8853-4458-9b87-ed29cb23515e) ### Subscribe to our newsletter [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4020212/8f04338d-245a-4da0-9599-6a5013c66d3f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4020212/8f04338d-245a-4da0-9599-6a5013c66d3f) ### Follow us!
