LovelyLathers Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Chemistrystore.com sells them both. They are not the same. My notes say mineral oil is made from gasoline and propylene is made from natural gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 No, propylene glycol is generally used as a solvent with humectant properties. It's useful in small amounts (recommended 1-20%, max 50%), but can irritate skin in large amounts. Mineral oil on the other hand can be used up to 100%.
