Hey Beautiful Souls
I hope this finds you well, I hope that was great and productive. We are getting closer to spring I am so excited. I was doing some research and my heart was broken with all the information I found. I want to share this with you
Have you heard of mineral oil?
Mineral oil is a clear, odorless, and lightweight byproduct of petroleum refining, composed primarily of alkanes and cycloalkanes.
Do you know what petroleum?
Petroleum is a nonrenewable, naturally occurring, flammable liquid composed of hydrocarbons found in underground rock formations.
Do you know what they ues mineral oil for?
Mineral oil when highly refined for use in cosmetics (baby oil), pharmaceuticals (laxatives), and food-grade applications (wood conditioning). As a, it acts as an emollient that seals in skin. Here is the link to a website that will share what they found. You will be shocked!
Mineral oil generally does not absorb into the skin. Because of its large molecular size to enter the skin pulling the hydration from deep into the skin surface to appear hydrated
Google says ( It is important to note that mineral oil is not a hydrating ingredient )
Yes it is a sealer and a harmful one there are other sealers that are natural and good for you and your skin
Natural Sealer
• Shea Butter: Highly moisturizing and protective, ideal for creating a barrier on dry, cracked skin.
• Beeswax: A superior, breathable, natural alternative to Vaseline that locks in moisture and protects the skin barrier.
• Coconut Oil: Rich in fatty acids (lauric and oleic) that hydrate, though it may be comedogenic for acne-prone facial skin.
• Cocoa Butter: Solid at room temperature, it melts with body heat to provide intense, long-lasting moisture.
• Jojoba Oil: Mimics natural human sebum, making it excellent for repairing the skin barrier without clogging pores
• Rosehip Seed Oil: Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids to repair dry, damaged skin.
• Calendula Oil: Highly effective for healing dry patches, rashes, and minor burns.
This is so amazing how many natural sealers I have most of these ingredients in my products reassuring hydration and skin repair will begin, it is amazing what nature can do for us and helping us repair and heal from life and the damage we did to our skin with the chemicals and drying ingredients, it is time to repair your skin!
