Crafty1 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 i have read many places that mineral oil is not good in cosmetics for one reason or another. however, i have tried few lotions with mineral oil in it and it seems as though it offers a good feel...just my opinion. what are your thoughts on mineral oil?

cindym Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Personally I don't like it , I feel it is to heavy and does not sink in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindym Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I would check and see what other ingredients are in the lotion and where on the list mineral oil is. This is just a personal preference for me, some people do love mineral oil. It is kind of like vaseline some people love it, I can't stand the heaviness of it. I just doesn't do anything for me.

elle110 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 There are some people who believe it can be a cause of skin cancer but no real data has been established on this. I for one do not put it in my products and I think it is over used as a cheap filler, also, I don't like the way it lays on my skin disallowing moisturizers to penetrate the skin.

daniedb Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I realize this is hearsay, but I have read over and over that mineral oil can be drying for babies' skin, and as I make some products for babies, I just omit it altogether in all my products. You can get a great "dry" feeling from FCO or using something like grapeseed or another light oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad72 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I don't like the heavy feeling either but a friend of mine loves it...just a matter of preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimscandles Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I personally don't care for it, but it all depends on the individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
