Mineral Oils
Mineral oil, also known as liquid paraffin, is a naturally-derived odorless, colorless oily liquid. When used in cosmetics, mineral oil may help prevent moisture loss and rejuvenate one's skin due to its natural emollient properties, making it a very common ingredient in topical personal-care products such as ointments, creams, sunscreen, and lotions. In additional to personal-care formulations, mineral oil is used in a wide-range of industrial applications as a lubricant or release agent.
