How to Clean Your Face with Mineral Oil

Mineral Oil, a colorless and odorless liquid put together from distilled petroleum, is among the main ingredients of beauty products. You might be among people with a misconception that mineral oil contains carcinogen, an agent directly involved in causing cancer. However, that is not the reality as many prestigious cosmetic companies have been using this product in the preparation of their cosmetic products. The biggest proof is the analysis of the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG’s) Cosmetic Safety Database report of July 2010, which clearly says that Mineral Oil has been listed as the main ingredient of 700 cosmetic products, 276 moisturizers and 110 facial treatments.
