The Mineral Oil Cover-Up: What Is It Really Doing to Your Skin's Natural Defenses?

    BEVERLY HILLS, CA, June 10, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mineral oil is a by-product of the distillation process that turns petroleum into gasoline. It has many industrial uses, including as a cutting fluid, a lubricating oil, a coolant, and as a cleaner and solvent for inks in fine art printmaking just to name a few.

Mineral oil is added to many lotions and other skin care lotions because it helps to draw in moisture from the environment. The truth is, while it may keep moisture in, mineral oil also prevents your skin from absorbing oxygen while simultaneously eliminating toxins and other waste products. Both of these functions of your skin are such vital bodily processes that their malfunction could create dry skin along with many other unhealthy conditions.

When you are using lotions that contain mineral oil as one of the main moisturizing ingredients, your skin problem is not being treated; it is only being masked. The mineral oil is blocking your skin's natural defenses, weakening the health of your skin barrier, leading to many dry skin-related problems. The simplest test is to stop using these products for a few days. Your skin will go through a period where it is much drier or worse than when you first started using the conventional lotion, proving that the lotion was not good for your skin in the first place.
