Morphology
pore + clog + ingredient
The phrase is directly compositional: a B1 learner who knows 'pore' (skin opening), 'clog' (to block), and 'ingredient' (component of a product) can infer an 'ingredient that blocks pores.' The structure follows a common modifier + noun pattern (present participle 'clogging' describing the ingredient), so the meaning is immediately derivable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Pore clogging ingredient gives a clear image: tiny skin pore openings are like small holes, and a sticky or oily ingredient described as clogging can block them. So, the phrase means an ingredient that 'blocks' pores and can 'cause breakouts'.
