Mineral oil is used in most of the cosmetics and skin care items which we use. It has been said that mineral oil has some harmful effects on the skin. Is it true?

    It depends on your skin type. Your skin may not suit such oil. Use cosmetics rarely.

    I don't think mineral oil has any ill effects on human skin. The link shared may be misleading or may contain wrong data

    The answer to this question is that there are two opinions on this - one opinion against the use of mineral oil in cosmetics is that it clogs the skin i.e. it forms a thin layer on the skin making it difficult for the oxygen to pass through the pores of the skin.

    Mineral oil is not absorbed quickly by the skin even when it gets absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and while passing through the intestinal tract, it absorbs the fat-soluble vitamins which is needed by the body.

    Certain derivatives of mineral oil like propyline glycol have been linked with cancer and kidney damage.

    On the other hand, those in favour of mineral oil say that there is no serious concerns regarding the same as mineral oil is testing and purified before use in cosmetics.
