KAVI Support Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 No, there isn't any truth whatsoever to this information. Ironically, the site you referenced gives its lowest comedogenicity and irritancy rating to precipitated sulfur. It's possible that the colloidal sulfur rating could have been made in error. Sulfur is one of the best anti-acne ingredients available to the pharmaceutical industry today. Its non-comedogenicity is undisputed among the medical community and the real focus in recent years has been on fully leveraging its anti-bacterial qualities. Colloidal sulfur is a sulfur preparation that yields molecularly smaller crystals than precipitated sulfur. The net effect is faster absorption into the skin during cleansing. We use colloidal sulfur in our soaps (where contact with the skin is for a short period of time) and precipitated sulfur in our anti-acne lotion (where absorption time can span several hours). Comedogenicity is also a relative concept. Many major-brand soaps are made with ingredients that are comedogenic to those with acne-prone skin. A majority of the population will not have a problem using an off-the-shelf brand. If they did, companies would change how they made their soap. Many of those with acne-prone skin, however, tend to react to the same ingredients, for example, tallow (animal fat found in popular bar soaps). All of Coral KAVI's ingredients have been tested for non-comedogenicity. We have used extensive field testing to corroborate the abundant research that has been available for decades to pharmaceutical dermatology. While this doesn't mean that Coral KAVI will be perfect for everyone, our 99.9% success rate with our thousands of customers has meant no change to the core formula for five years and running.
