Comedogenic
Definition
A comedogenic ingredient is one that tends to clog pores, potentially causing blackheads, whiteheads, or acne. Lips do not have pores, so comedogenicity is less of a concern for lip-specific products. However, lip balm applied near the lip line can affect surrounding skin. Numbrrrz uses non-comedogenic jojoba oil that does not clog pores.

Non-Comedogenic
A product or ingredient that does not clog pores. Jojoba oil, a key ingredient in Numbrrrz, is naturally non-comedogenic because its molecular structure allows it to work with your skin rather than blocking follicles. This makes Numbrrrz safe to apply liberally without worrying about breakouts around the lip area.
Jojoba Oil
A liquid wax ester extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Its molecular structure closely resembles human sebum, allowing it to integrate with the skin's natural moisture system. Jojoba is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, and is non-comedogenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It provides sustained moisture by working in harmony with the body's own oils.
Coconut Oil
An oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts, rich in medium-chain fatty acids including lauric acid. In lip care, coconut oil penetrates quickly to deliver deep hydration at a cellular level. It also has natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Numbrrrz uses certified organic, cold-pressed virgin coconut oil to preserve the full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
