Determination of Mineral Oil Free

Mineral oil is a clear and odorless liquid and is a common ingredient in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products. Mineral oil is obtained from highly refined, purified and processed petroleum.

Mineral oil in cosmetics and personal care products helps to reduce water loss in the skin and moisturize the skin. It is therefore a highly purified, mild ingredient used in baby lotions, cold creams, ointments, and many other cosmetic and personal care products.

The highly refined, purified mineral oil found in cosmetics and skin care products won't clog pores. At the same time, because it is an inert, stable compound, mineral oil is effective on sensitive skin as it does not cause skin reaction or deteriorate in hot, humid climates.

Mineral oil is also used in the production of some basic foodstuffs. For example, it is used as a binder or lubricant in yeast production. It is also applied to grains such as wheat, rice, oats and barley to help retain dust. It also helps prevent desserts from sticking together.

Mineral oil is an inert, chemically stable ingredient with a long history of safe use in common topical applications. Mineral oil is allowed as an active ingredient in some over-the-counter medications, including skin protectants and moisturizers.
