What a —/5 rating means
Because no dependable rating exists, judge Camelina Oil by how your own skin responds rather than by a number. The absence of a score is not the same as a zero — it simply means the ingredient has not been reliably tested on the classic comedogenic scale.
About Camelina Oil
It is a plant- or seed-derived oil, valued for the emollient, conditioning feel it gives a formula. An omega-3-rich seed oil from the false flax plant, used as a lighter alternative to flaxseed oil in barrier formulas. It is named on the CLEARSTEM pore-clogging ingredient list, but that list does not publish a 0-5 comedogenic score for it and no Fulton-derived table we cite carries one. We therefore leave it unrated rather than invent a number — treat the listing itself as the signal.
On a label it can read as Camelina Oil, Camelina Sativa Seed Oil, Gold Of Pleasure Oil, False Flax Oil — worth knowing when you scan an ingredient deck.
Camelina Oil in makeup and skincare
In makeup it turns up in cream blushes, tinted balms, and hydrating foundations; in skincare, in face oils and cleansing balms.
If you deal with fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis) rather than ordinary clogged pores, note that Camelina Oil is among the fatty-acid or ester-type ingredients that community sources commonly avoid — a separate concern from its comedogenic score, and one with weaker evidence behind it.
