A brand claim that a product is less likely to clog pores. There is no single official test every brand must pass, so treat it as a hint, not a guarantee.
"Fragrance-free" is what the listing claims. "None listed" means we found no fragrance in the published ingredients, but the brand makes no claim.
No plant or mineral oils in the formula. It can still contain silicones or butters, so it isn't automatically lighter.
Someone tested it on skin. It doesn't say how many people, for how long, or with what result.
Fats that are naturally part of your skin barrier. Useful when skin is dry, tight or irritated.
Glycerin, hyaluronic acid and panthenol pull water into the skin. They work in every skin type.
