What a —/5 rating means
Because no dependable rating exists, judge Sweet Almond Butter 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 Sweet Almond Butter
It is a rich plant butter that melts at skin temperature, prized for cushiony moisture. Almond oil blended with a hydrogenated vegetable base to make a spoonable butter for body products. It is a heavier material than the plain almond oil on this grid, which rates 2. 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 Sweet Almond Butter, Almond Butter, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Butter — worth knowing when you scan an ingredient deck.
Sweet Almond Butter in makeup and skincare
You'll meet it in stick foundations, cream products, and rich lip colour, as well as body and face creams.
If you deal with fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis) rather than ordinary clogged pores, note that Sweet Almond Butter 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.
