I want to try and make my own topical from CBD oil as an experiment to see if it has any anti inflammatory effects when used as a topical.
However the oil is usually placed in a carrier oil, and I'm aware that the product is mainly used for ingestion, not topical. But I want to try anyway, so my choices of carrier oil are as follows
- MCT (like from coconut oil)
- olive oil
- grape seed oil
Does anyone know offhand which of these is the least comedogenic?
(based on this list https://www.holistichealthherbalist.com/complete-list-of-comedogenic-oils/
The order of the above from most likely to least likely to be comedogenic is
MCT > olive oil > grape seed oil
What do you guys think? Would this mean grape seed oil is the better choice?

That is correct. Grape seed is also a very good carrier oil. There are, of course, better oils like jojoba and camellia oils. If you're more concerned with anti-inflammatory property, then look into castor oil, which works like a charm when in comes to bringing down inflammation. It is, however, slightly comedogenic but it also has a drying effect on skin, so it kinda cancels itself out.
