While it is true that industrial grade mineral oil contains carcinogenic components (so-calledpolycyclic compounds), these are completely removed from cosmetic and food grade mineral oil and there is no scientific data showing that the pure, cosmetic grade version is carcinogenic. The unique thing about petrolatum is that it is the most effective occlusive agent known today. While the occlusivity of mineral oil is in the same league as the occlusivity of plant oils, petrolatum is in a league of its own. It sits on top of the skin and hinders so-called transepidermal water loss (TEWL) like nothingelse.The famous or maybe rather infamous mineral oil. The clear oily liquid that is the "cheap by-product" of refining crude oil and the one that gets a lot of heat for its poor provenance. It is a very controversial ingredient with pros and cons and plenty of mythsaround it. So let us see them: Pour into a glass, metal or plastic container and let cool. You can refrigerate it to speed up the cooling process if you would like. I usually wait until the next day to start using it. A few of these same ingredients are used in the Albolene Eye Makeup Remover, including mineral oil, petrolatum, and beta carotene. Two additional ingredients in the Eye Makeup Remover include ozokerite and jojoba seed oil. As mentioned above, ozokerite is a naturally occurring fossil wax that functions as an emulsifier. Coconut oil– This popular kitchen staple not only tastes good but is revered as a skin care treatment and makeup remover. (Use whatever you already have in your kitchen cupboard – there is no difference between coconut oil for eating or for skin care.) I like the Nutiva brand of coconut oil.

Trust us, if something is used for more than 100 years in cosmeticproducts, it hasadvantages. Chemically speaking, cosmetic grade mineral oil is a complex mixture ofhighly refined saturated hydrocarbons with C15-50 chain length.It is not merely a "by-product" but rather a specifically isolated part of petroleum that is very pure and inert. Depending on your skin type you may or may not need to use additional skin care products, such as facial serums or moisturizers after cleansing. Since my skin is dry, I usuallyfinish with a few drops of a nourishing facial oil and a bit of eye cream right before bed. You can make your own homemade facial oil too if you’d like! A UV makeup and advanced facial imaging technology evaluation also revealed that Albolene’s Hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser outperformed the top-selling micellar makeup remover brand in terms of effectively removing makeup.The oil in a cleansing balm works to remove dirty oil from your skin and replace it with fresh, nourishing oils. Chances are, unless you have gone down a Reddit beauty rabbit hole, take beauty advice from your grandma, or regularly peruse the beauty shelves of your local grocery store (all activities we encourage every once in a while, by the way), you haven't heard of Albolene. That's about to change. Cocoa butter– A moisturizing oil that comes from the cocoa bean. Cocoa butter is very hard at room temperature so it helps with the consistency of the cleansing balm. (I get disks of organic cocoa butter in bulk but you can find them online.) Developed with dermatologists, all three products are 100% paraben, fragrance and soap-free, and are non-comedogenic, non-drying and gentle on sensitive skin.
