🔬 How It Actually Works
A highly purified, completely inert, cosmetic-grade liquid hydrocarbon derived from petroleum. It is physically too large to penetrate the human pore, making it an absolute 0 on the comedogenic scale. It is the single most effective ingredient on earth for preventing water loss.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Completely stops transepidermal water loss (TEWL), heals extreme eczema, and never goes rancid.
💡 Pro Tip
The gold-standard base for baby oil and clinical eczema ointments.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
It is toxic crude oil that clogs pores and gives you cancer.
The Science
Cosmetic mineral oil is heavily refined to medical-grade purity. It physically cannot clog a pore (it sits perfectly on top) and is biologically inert.
