A survey, using the rabbit ear, of the comedogenicity and irritancy of several groups of skin care products indicates that many contain follicular and surface pithelial irritating ingredients. These ingredients fall into several chemical classes. Certain generalizations can be deduced by examining the results: (1) medium-chain-length fatty acids are more potent than shortor long-chain fatty acids in producing follicular keratosis, (2) the comedogenicity and irritancy of an organic material can…

A re-evaluation of the comedogenicity concept.
Is mineral oil comedogenic?
  • J. DiNardo
  • Biology
    Journal of cosmetic dermatology
  • 2005
TLDR
An attempt to understand the contrasting results between the animal and human models, the American Academy of Dermatology held an international symposium on comedogenicity and concluded that “if the animal model does not show evidence of comedogenesis, the test material under consideration is unlikely to be comedogenic in human skin.
Comedogenicity of Oils
TLDR
Application of coconut oil, mustard oil or liquid paraffin to acne prone skin is not advisable in the authors' environmental conditions and there is no antibacterial property for any of these oils.
Comedogenicity of squalene monohydroperoxide in the skin after topical application.
TLDR
Results indicate that Sq-OOH is a potent comedogenic mono-hydroperoxide chemical to rabbit skin.
Pretrolatum is not comedogenic in rabbits or humans : A critical reappraisal of the rabbit ear assay and the concept of acne cosmetica
TLDR
The admonition for acne patients to seek oil-free skin care products has no scientific merit and Cosmetics are an unlikely cause of the relatively high prevalence of post-adolescent female acne.
Potentiation of skin TSLP production by a cosmetic colorant leads to aggravation of dermatitis symptoms.
Analysis of volatile dimethicones for cosmetics
Volatile linear silicones are low molecular weight fluids (varying from 0.65 cSt to 2 cSt) which are excellent clear odourless emollients for personal care. Volatile on skin, they present low surface…
Clinical utility of marketing terms used for over-the-counter dermatologic products
TLDR
A working knowledge of common cosmetic ingredients may help dermatologists to counsel patients on which products to avoid for their specific dermatologic conditions.
Rabbit Ear Model
TLDR
The rabbit ear has long served as a model for assaying comedogenic materials, but it is realized that this assay can provide a good deal more information, and gross inspection is abandoned.
A review on the extensive skin benefits of mineral oil
This review was initially prepared in 2011 before Professor Johann Wiechers tragically passed away. It has been updated and is being published in his memory. It discusses the importance of mineral…

A microanatomical study of the response of the pilosebaceous apparatus of the rabbits ear canal.
TLDR
Evaluated the usefulness of the pilosebaceous apparatus of the rabbit's ear canal for observations of the effects of various agents on this skin appendage and efforts were made to observe morphologic changes grossly and histologically and to measure quantitative changes in sebaceous glands after various influences.
Cellular dynamics of comedo formation in acne vulgaris
TLDR
Epithelial turnover was compared on the faces and backs of normal and acne subjects using autoradiographs prepared after intra-dermal injection of tritiated thymidine, glycine and histidine and no differences in cellular kinetics were found between acne and non-acne subjects.
Comedogenicity testing of cosmetics.
Adult acne can occur from the use or perhaps incorrect removal of cosmetics, and cosmetic firms have adopted the use of the rabbit ear comedogenicity assay to ensure the safety and noncomedogenicity…
