Petroleum by-product that coats the skin like plastic, clogging the pores. Interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, promoting acne and other disorders. Slows down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. Used in many products (baby oil is 100% mineral oil!) Any mineral oil derivative can be contaminated with cancer causing PAH's (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons). Manufacturers use petrolatum because it is unbelievably cheap.

Ahh...then I know now how come mineral oil foundation doesn't end up with oily skin on my face. But to leave it kinds of dilema to me since it gives great touch on my skin face. Will think about it though. Thank you.
