Over recent years there has been an increase in research into mineral oil alternatives, driven by the demand for
products which are more environmentally friendly. However, many alternatives are not as stable or as cost effective
as mineral oil and as a result have not been as effective in replacing them. Due to the high cost of natural or organic
oils.

The Bad About Mineral Oil

Mineral Oils Doesn't Allow The Skin to Breath..........

One of the reasons it has become popular as a skin care product is
that it forms a film over the skin that prevents the skin from
contacting or absorbing anything in the environment. For example, it’
s best to keep a rash dry, and mineral oil helps prevent the
absorption of water.
Large cosmetic companies are continuing to use synthetic and
petrochemical ingredients in personal care products.
Pick up any bottle of lotions, cream, shampoo, conditioner, or
toothpaste in your house right now and see how many natural
ingredients they contain.
Another popular use is in bath oils. In this case, it supposedly keeps
moisture locked in, and makes the skin feel smooth. Since dry skin
generally feels rough and flaky, the assumption is that if the skin
feels smooth, then it is moist.
Mineral Oil Increase the Photo-Aging of the Skin

......and we wonder why we keep looking older, why our skin continues to dry out,
even with all the products we use? (Plus you will burn faster when using petroleum
products...and a burn is not a tan).
So, the skin problem is not being treated, it’s being masked, and possibly even
worsened. This will quickly be obvious once you stop using the products, and find that
the skin problems immediately reappear.
Also, your skin can become more dehydrated because mineral oil dissolves your skins
natural oil. Have you ever broken out after using a new product? If you have, there's a
good chance that product contained mineral oil, as mineral oil is the main cause for
break outs.
The hole in these theories is that mineral oil doesn't allow the skin to ‘breathe’. While it may keep moisture in, it also
prevents the body from absorbing oxygen and from eliminating toxins and other waste products – both of which are
such vital bodily processes that their malfunction could create dry skin, and many other unhealthy conditions. Mineral
oil acts as a thin layer on the skin.
Mineral oil is not absorbed into your skin because the molecules are too large. It just sits on top of your skin and clogs
your pores, which doesn't allow your skin to absorb water (moisture) which slows the skins ability to eliminate toxins.
Remember, the skin in the body's largest organ and plays an important role in maintaining overall health! Once the oil
is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and passes through the intestinal tract, it will absorb all of the fat-soluble
vitamins found there.
It is essentially stealing important vitamins from the body, which the body will not be able to replace. This can
eventually lead to nutritional deficiencies.


So Why Is Mineral Oil Used If Is Bad For Our Skin?

You may also want to check the label on the baby oil you're using. Most are 100% mineral oil. Petroleum, paraffin,
paraffin oil and propylene glycol are all derivatives of mineral oil and have similar effects on your skin. Propylene
glycol, in particular, has been known to inhibit cell growth and has been linked to kidney damage and liver
abnormalities.
The solution is to use a product that locks in moisture and forms a protective barrier against environmental toxins,
without leaving a greasy or oily film that prevents the body from absorbing oxygen and eliminating wastes – which is
how a shielding natural product works.
For that reason, thousands of doctors are now recommending a good shielding natural oil based product instead of
mineral oil products to help rashes and other dry skin conditions.
Petroleum by-product that coats the skin like plastic, clogging the pores. Interferes
with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, promoting acne and other disorders. Slows
down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. Used in
many products (baby oil is 100% mineral oil!) Any mineral oil derivative can be
contaminated with cancer causing PAH's (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons).
Manufacturers use petrolatum because it is unbelievably cheap. Mineral oil, a
common ingredient in commercial lotions, creams, and baby care products. It is
produced as a byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil, the same
stuff they make gasoline from. Mineral oil is leftover liquid, and because it is
abundant, it is very inexpensive. It is less expensive for manufacturers to
purchase these by-products as a filler than it is for the industry to dispose of it.
Mineral oil is the main ingredient in many baby care items as well. Baby oil,
Vaseline, baby wash liquid soap, and baby lotions all contain mineral oil as a key
ingredient. In fact 98% of all cosmetics use mineral oil, including your eye
shadow, blush, lipstick, shaving cream and your everyday moisturizer and lotion
you use at home. It is also used in most SPF sunscreen.
