Comedogenic Scale - Which Carrier Oil is Right for Your skin type? 

Thank you Collin! That is truly my goal and is always running through my mind

Dan always coming in clutch!

@@RyanMatson black mamba mindset 💪

I appreciate that 🤝

Thank you guys!

Awesome!

Thank you Nico! Keep me posted with any findings or correlations with sensitive skin and carrier oils

Awesome! Glad I could help

Thank you 🙏

Hopefully a little more exciting than some of your former teachers lol

Dan C Bearded oh absolutely! I look forward to this (class) Lol

Thanks Jake!

Thanks E!

Thank you Matt! I really appreciate that 🙏

Dan C Bearded anyway to tell if the coconut oil is fractionated or unrefined as its popular in my butters (DGC,Grave before shave and fresh beards)? Looking for a light butter right now since I been dealing with some acne for first time. I also have Husky but don’t see coconut oil in there at all.. recommendations? I have plenty of different oils but that’s all for butters. Trying to stay on the light side of course.. I certainly know it’s not an exact science from person to person though!

@@mattmoberg1461 it is very rare to find unrefined coconut oil in beard products

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

I for sure will cover those!

Perfect! That was my goal

Very cool Dave!

@@DanCBearded hahaha!! omg I'm a dork. I'm sorry

Thanks buddy!

Awesome brotha, I hope the playlist helps!

I love doing this, you're welcome!

Thanks Joe! It will likely never be a big video, but I do know it has helped people that watched.

Hey it was big to me man! 🤷‍♂️ I wouldve assumed thicker oil would have a higher chance of clogging pores. Now i know thats not always the case. I feel like this is overlooked but very important clearly because majority may make an incorrect assumption just like i did. Solid video

Haha yesss!

Super glad to hear, thanks guys!

I have my acceptance speech ready! 🤞 lol

You're welcome! I absolutely love doing this

Awesome!!

I love when people look closer at the ingredients!

I do the exact same thing :)

Love that!

@@DanCBearded I understood it but it was cool hearing it laid out 🙂

Thank you my good friend! Excited to hopefully work together on something new soon!

@@DanCBearded Absolutely. Just getting done with a few prior commitments.

@@BeardedChokra sounds great! Life opens up a lot for me too in November

@@DanCBearded Wish you the best brother!

You're welcome!

Haha but so many are against synthetic! 👊😉

Thank you!

It’s actually very uncommon. I haven’t found a beard oil with coconut oil; but rather versions such as fractionated coconut oil or MCT oil. Much lower on the scale

@@DanCBeardedso if it just says “coconut oil” is it really the fractionated coconut or MCT oil? Or is it supposed to be spelled out completely? I’ve run across a couple different brands that just say “coconut oil”

It will certainly be covered on my carrier oils 101 series, stay tuned!

@@DanCBearded can't wait for it.

Fractionated coconut oil would come in on the list on most measurements at a 1 and regular coconut oil coming in on the list on most measurements at a 4-5. Sounds like it goes with your experince!

I am covering that one next for the carrier oils 101 series!

@@DanCBearded Can't wait to see it!

4 and 5's are not bad ingredients, but rather could cause issues for some with sensitive skin. I have never had any issues with any of these ingredients

You’re welcome’

I will cover that one on a 101 series, but it is great!

Thanks for the experience and feedback!

All of my affiliates (list on the community tag) have great ratings!

Oh man, that's tough because it is a fat and not an oil. so it doesn't have a real rating but it is said to not clog pores

Mango Butter is a 2 - moderately low likelihood of clogging pores.

Thank you! On most measurements I have seen, mango butter is in the 1-2 range and is a really good option

Well said my friend!

I agree! Nature is wild

Hey Leo! Loaded question there. The more clogging oils usually are dominate for the result. If you have equal parts 0 and 4. The overall product would likely measure a 4 with chances of clogging your pores. For balms, it is going to be the more solid ingredient that is going to matter the most. I hope that makes sense! Something I have studied pretty at great lengths in my journey with consulting for a company

Loaded to the pores😀! If I understood you, the thickest oil entails the most risk. But ingredients are listed from most to least without percentages, so consecutive carriers could be equal, or more/less. Your video puts most carriers from zero to two, so I suspect there is likely little risk for the vast majority of men considering the amounts involved. If there is a problem, get a product with all carriers equal to zero, or maybe one, on the scale. For Balms, I have to ask which is more solid: Shea or Cocoa Butter? What you wrote does indeed make sense, I'm looking to get more detail.

No rules at all! It just comes down to personal preference

Yes, 100%. Fractionated is around a 1 on most measurements, normal coconut oil is a 4 or 5 on most measurements.

@@DanCBearded thank Dan that explains alot

@@beardedcanadian6261 came to the comments looking for the answer to the same question! Glad the Trusted Teacher cleared that up! Thanks Dan!

It just comes down to personal preference. Both are great options!

Normal coconut oil comes in at a 4

Of course, got you covered: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-02Ucs3V1U-k.html

Unfortunately we do not have any in stock right now. Keep an eye out for when we have more in stock. I will post on the community tab

It all really depends on the person. It sounds like you should probably avoid 4 and 5's

If I find this to be the case it will really suck as I love this company and was really pumped for this purchase and if I can not use it that would mean I have 4 bottles of unusable products

No, very different

Olive oil and mct oil, yes great! I am not a fan of straight up coconut oil though

You’re the man love your work and your videos!

Really good product!

Yup! I have tried it and my beard loves it

I think he has a video on emu oil? Not for sure

How come?

Spot on! It is a 0-1 generally

@@DanCBearded Amazing! Thank you for the info! Been researching and watching all of your carrier 101 videos. Looking into what it would be like to start a beard care company or just be really good at making my friends and I beard oils so this series has been a huge help! Thank you for everything!

@@deezvidz1 you’re absolutely welcome!

Either you are using too much of the others or beard brand just agrees with your skin!

Eric Bandholtz? Is that you making dummy accounts again?

@@alexanderb4465 😂

Exactly. Fractionated is what they are all using and that is much better! If it was normal coconut oil in oils, you would see the semi solid state

Those do not fall under things that get measured on this scale

It normally measures in at a 2, so pretty good but not the best

A 1 👊

There are many variations of coconut oil, depends on the kind. Straight up coconut oil is pretty high on the list and can be a risk for clogging pores

Fractionated would in at about a 1 and regular coconut oil would be about a 4

That is the purpose of the video lol both of those are very low on the list and show that they should not clog pores or cause acne

True that

@@henrythompson1024 👊

That is normally measured in the 1 range

I have not, but I have avoided all products with any whiskey or wheat directly infused ingredients.

@@DanCBearded Good to know. My girlfriend has celiac and we've joked about her possibly getting a reaction from kissing me but I have made sure to avoid those as well.

Fractionated around a 1 and regular around a 4

Yes, completely different sources!

It is all about the blend and what works for you. Carriers are not all about absorbing though. Some ingredients should be designed to coat or seal. Finding the best balance is key

@@DanCBearded cool, thanks for the reply

Emu oil is a 1

Awesome thanks again

Normal coconut oil is a 4

@@DanCBearded yeh just seen after a quick google

👊

I have covered several, such as Rugged Smuggler. Have the companies reach out to me 👊

That is a 2

@@DanCBearded thank you very much. So sea buckthorn oil can be used on a face? Thank you 🙏

And sunflower oil is comedogenic? Thank you

Yup!

@@DanCBearded sorry but I didn’t get how much is sunflower oil is comedogenic? Please. Thank you

Normal coconut oil is about as bad as it gets for ratings

@@DanCBearded Coconut oil is that bad? I thought it worked as good as anything else in my beard. I got the same results with argan, jojoba, and almond oil as wit commercially prepared butters, and oils. Hempseed and castor oils smelled and felt too heavy.

Haha love it! Can I get a Chapelle in there?

@@DanCBearded ahh yes Dave Chappelle of course!

Correct! But not fractionated coconut oil

That was quick.. U know ur beard game.. I'm the "diy-er" that wants to make and sell beard oil /butter / balm/wash.. Etc but in research phase now.. I'm the type that needs to know alot b4 I begin. Been binge watch ur channel. Watched ur vid about things to be cautious of if you diy.. I cant remember the title. But I knew all that so that's good yeah.. I'm looking for a video of urs (if u have) where u kind of can point me in the right direction.. From ur vids I know Argan is good and Jojoba but what other oils do u recommend I research before making products. My husband will be my tester and his 3 brothers.. Lol.. Oh and black seed I wanna add to.. But not number 1 on ingredient list as you advised its better if not the majority of the oils. 😁.. And I'm thinking also if I were to focus on 2 products do u suggest bear butter and beard oil.. Sorry if I'm overstepping but would like ur expertise.. Thanks for all the helpful vids.. Helping my research tons.. 👍🤓
