Mineral oil is a common ingredient in commercial lotions, creams, and baby care products. Mineral oil is clear liquid oil that will not spoil and has no scent. It is produced as a byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil. Mineral oil is the left over liquid, and because it is abundant, it is very inexpensive. In fact, it is more expensive to dispose of mineral oil, then to purchase it.The problem is that mineral oil is foreign to the human body and has many harmful effects, especially in infants. Mineral oil acts as a thin layer over the skin. It is difficult to absorb and clogs the pores, which slows the skin's ability to eliminate toxins.Remember, the skin is the body's largest organ and plays an important role in overall health. Once the oil is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and broken down by the intestinal tract, it will absorb all of the fat soluble vitamins found there. It is essentially stealing vitamins from the body which the body can't replace. This can eventually lead to nutrients deficiencies. Studies have also shown forms of pneumonia caused by mineral oil, decreasing the lung functionMy moisturizers not only do NOT contain mineral oil...they are ALL natural and can be used in the youngest hair as well as the body.
