Skin care products, including moisturizers for oily skin, are big business but the reality is that for people with oily skin modern mainstream skin care products such as oily skin moisturizers deliver very little and can even be risky to your health and your skin as a result of many of the chemical ingredients used in these products.

Most of the skin care products that you see advertised contain many chemical as well as petrochemical ingredients, and I shall give you an example of this.

You commonly find mineral oil in a wide range of personal and beauty products including skin care products like moisturizers.

Unfortunately mineral oil comes from crude oil and is a petrochemical product that is a byproduct of distilling crude oil. Mineral oil goes by a wide range of different names and if you look on the label of skin care products such as moisturizers that you may use now you may not even see it listed because it may be listed under a different name.

Mineral oil doesn’t moisturize. In fact it is intended to form a thin film of oil over the skin to help prevent moisture loss. Mineral oil does not increase the moisture levels in the skin and by forming a layer of oil on the skin it can exacerbate skin problems such as acne and can also lead to a restriction in the ability of the skin to eliminate toxins through the pores.

Mineral oil is very suspect and has been linked to allergies and cancer as well as skin irritation and eye irritation. And it can be absorbed into the body in small quantities and work to create problems with vitamin absorption.

So why would mineral oil be used in beauty and personal care products such as skin care products that so many consumers use every single day? The reason is simple, the reason is that mineral oil is incredibly cheap.

There are many excellent natural alternatives to using mineral oil in products such as moisturizers for oily skin and moisturizers for dry skin. Some good examples are Avocado extract, Shea butter and Babassu oil as well as a wide range of other naturally occurring ingredients all of which have been known for some time to have excellent skin moisturizing properties and which are much more effective as skin moisturizers than mineral oil.

There are companies which produce excellent natural skin care products using such ingredients. One in particular makes an excellent range of natural anti aging products, none of which contain mineral oil or any other chemical or petrochemical ingredients, and which work equally well for all skin types. They do not produce a moisturizer for oily skin and in fact do not produce a moisturizer at all because all their products work to produce better skin health and better skin moisture levels equally well.

The obvious conclusion must be that these products are very expensive however in fact that is not the case, they are in fact extremely cost competitive. The reason is that the company that makes them doesn’t engage in television advertising and so is not required to factor the cost of television advertising into the price of the product.

If you’re looking for a moisturizer for oily skin then there are excellent natural skin care products available right now that avoid the need to purchase those oily skin creams and oily skin moisturizers that you see on the shelves containing suspect ingredients like mineral oil.

There should be no problems with skin moisturizing for anyone with either dry skin or oily skin because there are excellent natural skin care products available right now the people with all skin types.
