idacandlelady Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Does anyone know if Kokum is considered comedogenic? It's not listed on the lists that I've seen. Has anyone ever used it in a facial product?I've heard that mango is non, but I know cocoa is. Not sure what to think of kokum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Well, when I use cocoa butter in bath melts I get big icky zits on my back. When I subbed kokum (and adjusted my recipe %s to make up for the hardness) I stopped getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idacandlelady Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Thanks CB. Thats what I needed. I guess all I can do is try.I wanted to make a whipped concoction for my face. I have severely dry skin. Thought I would try mango and kokum to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have to agree with Carebear. When I swithched to Kokum, I didn't have the 'clogged pores' like I did when I used cocoa or shea. I have simply played around with most all of them now to see which ones work the best on my skin. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
