Calendula Comedogenic Rating: 1/5

Low riskBotanicalIrritancy 0/5

The comedogenic rating of Calendula is 1 out of 5.

What a 1/5 rating means

On the comedogenic scale, a 1 sits at the safe end of the scale — clogging is unlikely for most people. That places Calendula in the range most people, including many with acne-prone skin, tolerate well.

One thing the number cannot tell you is concentration. Ingredients are listed in descending order, so Calendula near the end of a label is present in tiny amounts and matters far less than the same ingredient near the top.
