In our reference data, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil is a plant-derived emollient rich in lauric and myristic fatty acids, used to soften skin, reduce moisture loss, and improve texture in cosmetic formulations. It is solid at room temperature but melts on contact with skin, giving a light, non-greasy feel.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Contact dermatitis / skin irritation | Rare | Occasional sensitivity reactions reported in susceptible individuals. |
Comedogenicity (pore clogging) | Uncommon | Due to high lauric/myristic acid content, may contribute to breakouts in acne-prone skin. |
Allergic reaction | Very rare | Isolated hypersensitivity cases possible, as with most plant-derived oils. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
