MsDammit Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Someone just gave me a small bottle of this(along with some lemon oil), I have never seen it before. But get this- the date on the bottle is '72!!!! For the heck of it I may throw it in some soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAnna_EC Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Mink Oil - An oil similar to human sebum. It has soothing, conditioning, and protective properties, making it an important component of dry skin products. Mink oil has tremendous spreading capabilities. Miink oil(with 80% unsaturated fats) is the easiest to absorb and most compatible oil for human skin. It is used by many people for the treatment of skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. It penetrates quickly to the epidermis layer of the skin to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles, and also works as a natural sun screen. The supreme softness,smoothness and moisture-retaining properties imparted to skin are directly due to the special ratio of glycerides contained in Mink Oil.now dont quote me on that LOL just something i read ..now it may or may not smell like a ferret, but being from '72 i wouldnt be to anxious to use it, might smell like "very old on its last leg ferret" LOLand how exactly do they get the oil from the mink? Mink oil is made from the thick fatty layer minks have just under their skins. This fat is removed from the pelt when the mink is skinned and is then rendered into mink oil.
