Does shea butter cause pimples ?

Would pure unrefined shea butter causes pimples when used as a face moisturizer on oily skin ?

Probably, but everyone's skin is different! You'd probably be better off with a nice blend of lighter oils with a high amount of linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid which is often lacking in acne prone skin). Try a blend of jojoba and sunflower with some tea tree EO. Sesame oil is slightly comedogenic but good at a low percentage (think 10-15%)... I haven't had any problems with it at that percentage.

It probably depends on if the person is acne-prone or not. EVERY oil causes pimples for me.
