What is Mineral Oil? Is it Harmful to You? Why is Mineral Oil in so many of the skin care products?

Mineral Oil is derived from Petroleum. Yes, petroleum. It is colorless, transparent, odorless, and tasteless. It has occlusive properties. In plain English it means it sits on top of the skin. It does not allow the skin to breath. It clogs the pores in high concentrations. What should that mean to you? If you or your baby uses products with mineral oil you may be exposing your skins to unnecessary alterations of the skin’s function.

Think about the skin’s function. First remember the skin is the largest organ of our body. The skin is the covering for our muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments. The skin end on end is over 16 feet long. That is hard to imagine! The skin is a protective layer from the environment. It filters the toxins in the air and what ends up on our skin. Mineral Oil can prevent the skin from working effectively.

The skin has so many functions. It is our temperature regulator, UV protector, protector against bacteria, and injury to name a few. The skin’s role in our body function is very important. It is a big responsibility to take care of our skin. To allow the skin to function at the most optimum use good skin care products and avoid products with Mineral Oil.

Mineral Oil is very cheap. It is easily accessible and frequently used in cosmetics and skin preparations. It some circumstances under medical treatment Mineral Oil can be effective for treating certain skin conditions and traumatic injuries such as burns. Unlike our skin in normal circumstances sometimes the skin needs the protective barrier to prevent the skin from being exposed to the environment.

Do your skin a favor, save the Mineral Oil for necessary medical treatments. Read your skin care labels!

Take care until we meet again,
