In our reference data, Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil is a semi-solid lipid derived from rapeseed (canola) oil through hydrogenation, used in skincare as an emollient, texture enhancer, and skin-conditioning agent. It softens and smooths the skin while contributing to product consistency and stability.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Comedogenicity (pore-clogging) | Uncommon | As an occlusive lipid it may contribute to clogged pores or acne in acne-prone individuals, though it is generally considered low risk. |
Contact irritation or mild redness | Rare | Occasional irritation reported, typically in sensitive skin or with impurities in lower-grade material. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Sensitization to rapeseed-derived lipids is uncommon but possible in predisposed individuals. |
