Re: Shea Butter Non-Comedogenic?

[Guest guest]

Lezlee,

I have often referred to this website for info about comedogenic

ingredients. It really doesn't even mention shea butter, but it might

help a little. It's mainly for cosmetic consumers looking for info

about what they are buying.

I have NEVER seen any data that would suggest or even prove that Shea

Butter is comediogenic.

You should ask for substantiation.

I just checked MEDLINE & there was nothing there.

I guess we know the answer.

Lezlee, you should ask this person to subtantiate her claims, otherwise

I will consider her statement as part of the very growing waste heap of

lies and information found on the intenet. The truth is out there!

-- Shea Butter Non-Comedogenic?

On another list I frequent there is an ongoing discussion about Shea

Butter. Some say it is comedogenic and should never be used on the

face. Others say that it is non-comedogenic.

What are the facts?

I did an extensive search on Google and most sites I found were

retail sites. I know not to take this information as fact since

they are trying to sell their product.

Any help you can provide is most appreciated.

Happy Holidays!
