If you use a moisturizer right now is there mineral oil in it? Should there be mineral oil in moisturizers, and if there shouldn’t why not?

Mineral oil is a petrochemical product, which means that it is derived from crude oil. It is a by-product of the process used to create petroleum products and can also be called white oil. It is used so extensively in anti aging skin care products and cosmetics because it is very cheap.

Would it surprise you to find out that in some skin care products over 50% of the ingredients are petrochemical products?

Studies by the Cosmetic Safety Database have shown that there are 454 different moisturizers that contain mineral oil, and of course there are many other cosmetics and skin care products containing mineral oil as well, so chances are good that you’re using a product that contains mineral oil right now.

And anyone with a baby will know mineral oil as baby oil because baby oil is 100% mineral oil, just with a fragrance added as mineral oil doesn’t smell that sweet.

And the Cosmetic Safety Database has more to say on mineral oil. They link it to irritation of the eyes and skin, cancer, allergies and toxicity in some biological body systems.

Mineral oil has also been linked to a number of skin problems, including acne. The problem with mineral oil in moisturizers and other skin care products and cosmetics is that it clogs the pores of the skin. This is why it can lead to acne, and also means that the skin is more limited in its natural ability to purge toxins.

And there are some who have also linked the use of mineral oil on the skin with premature aging.

But like all these things none of this if firmly proven and there is debate, and the big cosmetics companies and skin care companies maintain that it is perfectly safe and works well.

So if you’re one of those worried about finding mineral oil in moisturizers on your shelf what should you do about it? Well basically if the product works for you and you aren’t finding any unwanted effects that’s good. Remember that there are some very expensive skin care products that don’t do very much, so if you’re happy with your products then good.

And I suspect that as many skin care products do very little many women just keep using them on hope and trust, they just have to be working. Though I believe that any good skin care products ought to produce results that both you and other people can clearly see.

Or you could try high quality natural skin care products that dont contain mineral oil, and see how they work for you.

And if you buy the best natural skin care products you get products with no mineral oil and with a full money back guarantee so you can try the products mineral oil free and risk free.

So if you aren’t convinced about how well they are working for you then you can return them for a refund. Very few return them, if they did there wouldn’t be any guarantee.

But I have to say that if you’re seriously worried about mineral oil in moisturizers and cosmetics and skin care products the jury is out. There is no conclusive evidence either way, though there are many who won’t use products containing mineral oil. And many who believe that as well as being unsafe it also doesn’t work very well.
