Non-comedogenic · Non-irritating
Mineral oil is a highly purified, colourless oil derived from petroleum. It is an effective occlusive that seals moisture into the skin and has a long history of safe use in cosmetics. Despite myths about pore-clogging, cosmetic-grade mineral oil is not comedogenic. Concerns exist around impurities in lower-grade formulations.
