Hi Gio,
May I ask where you got this information, “But, the barrier it creates can trap other comedogenic ingredients into the skin, and those can cause breakouts”? I’ve been doing research on mineral oil for a project and I have not found anything bad about this ingredient for the skin. I’m just curious to know if there are any scientific data to back up that point as I have not found any. Would really appreciate if you reply, thank you!

I’ve come across articles claiming that mineral oil can act as a hormone disruptor. Have you found any research on this?

Hi Gio, Great article! Do you know if the mineral oil sold in drug stores as a laxative would be condered cosmetic grade? I want to avoid fragrance and the only product I could find was in the health care aisle. The ingredient list is: Active Ingredient: Mineral Oil. Inactive Ingredient: D-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) As Stabilizer.

In reply to Eliza. Eliza, yes, mineral oil is one of the three oil that's safe for fungal acne, too. The others are squalene and MCT.
