Saponified Palm OilFungal Acne TriggerEmulsifying, Surfactant, Cleansing, Viscosity Controlling
May cause fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) breakouts.
Ingredient Notes
This is palm oil that has been turned into soap. Soap is made by cooking oil with an alkali, which changes the oil into soap salts. Because it is no longer an oil, we do not count it toward the oil-free filter. Its fatty acids are still C12 to C18, which Malassezia can feed on, so we keep it flagged. We have not found a study that tests soaps made from oils directly.

Ingredient Notes
In a lab study, Malassezia was unable to grow on glycerin without the presence of fatty acids in the agar, indicating that it is not a fungal acne trigger.
