Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil has a comedogenic rating of 2. It has a low likelihood of clogging pores but may not suit all skin types.

Safety

Can feel heavy and carries mild comedogenic potential for acne-prone skin (around a 2 rating). Oxidized oil may increase irritation, so use it fresh and patch test if you're sensitive.

Is Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil a Good Ingredient?

Rated Good as a reliable emollient: its triglycerides and unsaponifiables, including squalene, support the skin's moisture barrier and softness, and irritation is generally low when the oil is fresh and properly processed. It stays at Good rather than higher because oxidation risk and its mild comedogenic potential limit how consistently it performs.
