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.
Camelina Oil comedogenic FAQ
Is Camelina Oil comedogenic?
There is no established answer. No source we cite gives Camelina Oil a comedogenic rating, and a missing score is not the same as a 0. If you are acne-prone, watch how your skin responds.
What is the comedogenic rating of Camelina Oil?
Camelina Oil is unrated on the 0–5 comedogenic scale. Camelina Oil is one of 26 ingredients, out of the 216 in our dataset, that none of our cited sources gives a comedogenic number, so we leave it unrated instead of guessing.
Is Camelina Oil pore-clogging?
Without a published rating we cannot say either way. Its position on the ingredient list still matters: near the end of a label it is present in small amounts.
