How and Why Do Blackheads Occur?

Blackheads or comedones are caused by the clogging of sebaceous glands. When the sebum reaches the surface of your skin, it oxidises and creates a blackhead.

Clogged pores are caused by hormones as well as cosmetics with comedogenic substances or oily ingredients, for instance certain oils, alcohols or stabilisers. This is why every cosmetic ingredient is assigned a level of comedogenicity from 0 (non-comedogenic) to 5 (highly comedogenic).

Non-comedogenic oils usually contain ingredients of level 0 or 1. They include for instance these oils:

• argan oil – for excessively oily and acne-prone skin, has a smoothing effect
• hemp oil – for acne, has a balancing effect
• sunflower oil – for problem skin and eczema, has a regenerative effect
• buckthorn oil – for pigmentation, has a brightening effect
• rosehip oil – for scars, has a regenerative effect
• grapeseed oil – for excessively oily skin, against ageing
• jojoba oil – for all skin types, a universal product
