ASCORBYL PALMITATE

Not on the EU Annex III list Rule-flagged fungal-acne trigger

ASCORBYL PALMITATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Antioxidant, Fragrance, with CAS number 137-66-6 and EC number 205-305-4. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 6 product labels, reaching position 14 on Labello Blackberry Shine 5.5ml. Fulton (1989) grades it 2 on the 0–5 comedogenicity scale; that grade is transcribed as-is and is the only rating source used. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
