In our reference data, Glyceryl Dioleate can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Glyceryl Dioleate is a diester of glycerin and oleic acid used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and co-emulsifier. It helps soften skin and stabilize oil-in-water systems without contributing significant biological activity.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild skin irritation | Rare | Occasional transient redness or stinging, typically in sensitive or compromised skin. |
Contact dermatitis / allergic sensitization | Very rare | Isolated reports; glyceryl esters of fatty acids are generally low sensitizers. |
Comedogenicity (pore clogging) | Uncommon | Oleic acid-based esters may have mild pore-clogging potential in acne-prone individuals. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
