comedogenic
Comedogenicity rating 4/5. Acetylation of lanolin increases both comedogenicity and emolliency. Combines the sensitization risk of lanolin (wool wax alcohol allergy) with high comedogenic potential. Avoid in acne-prone and atopic patients.
Acetylated Lanolin is a comedogenic backed by a moderate body of supporting evidence (evidence tier 2 of 4). We track 2 studies for it, 2 reporting a positive effect.

Rabbit ear assay: acetylated lanolin rated 4/5 comedogenicity; acetylation increases both emolliency and comedogenic potential compared to unmodified lanolin; combines comedogenicity risk with lanolin sensitization risk

Review ('The Lanolin Paradox'): lanolin sensitizes a high proportion of patients when applied in topical medicaments to damaged/dermatitic skin, yet is well tolerated in cosmetics by the general population; lanolin-allergic patients often show false-negative patch tests to pure lanolin. Sensitization risk is greatest on compromised skin.
