What You Need to Know About Mineral Oils (Vaseline & Paraffin)
Mineral oils cannot be absorbed by healthy skin. They create a thin film on the surface of the skin, blocking the pores and preventing the skin from functioning normally. Mineral oils do not contain any vitamins and disturb or even stop the skin from being able to absorb fat-soluble vitamins. They are detrimental to the skin with long-term use. Mineral oils appear to moisturise the skin but in reality they suppress its normal, healthy functioning. The skin then becomes "dependent" on constant applications of mineral oil which, in turn, result in a deterioration of the skin's character and ability to keep itself healthy. An example of this can be seen with mineral oil based Lip Balms where the user will find themselves having to apply lip balm over and over again.

And What About Synthetic Creams?
Nature has given us a way of keeping our skin - whether sensitive or normal - looking its best. Why spend a fortune on synthetic creams that appear to work for a short period of time? Ageing is a fact of life. It cannot be stopped. If you interfere with your body's natural ageing process, rest assured it will catch up with you. Organic creams provide your skin with external nutrition that keeps it looking healthy and allows you to age gracefully.
Why Vegetable Fats & Oils?
Vegetable fats & oils are readily absorbed by the skin. They nourish (give energy to) the skin and body. They are needed to create new cells and for other important processes in the body. Most vegetable oils contain vitamins which are necessary and good for the skin (such as provitamin A, D, and E). They can stimulate the skin to function better and create better circulation. They soften the skin and make it pliable, helping it to retain its moisture more effectively.
