Petrolatum Products are mineral oils and petroleum jelly. These are found in so many common products for skin care, baby care and cosmetics.
Why are they nasty?
They leave a barrier on the skin surface impairing normal skin breathing and healthy skin function, kind of like glad wrap on the skin
They often actually causes skin to dry and crack.
Really common in baby products to get a smooth velvety feel.
Avoid like the plague and choose natural healthy oils from plants or nuts that are actually good for your skin. Oils like sweet almond, jojoba, avacado are good enough to eat but actually protect and nourish our skin.
