Mineral oil, also known as soft paraffin, is the liquid form of petrolatum. All of these ingredients consist of mixtures of hydrocarbons that are byproducts of crude petroleum distillation; thus they are all actually organic, natural ingredients. ... Mineral oil reduces TEWL (transepidermal water loss) by 40%, is equally as occlusive as coconut oil and more occlusive than linoleic acid, yet it does not induce acne. Mineral oil and petrolatum provide inhibition of excessive inflammatory activity superior to 1% hydrocortisone is treating soap induced contact irritant dermatitis conducted by this author. It has also been documented these ingredients have anticarcinogenic and mild antibacterial effects. Many of these misconceptions regarding safety and efficacy of these ingredients are directly related to the quality of the grade. Technical grade is the least unpurified form of the oil, and is commonly used by machinists to lubricate engines and equipment. It is known to induce contact reactions in 10-50% of the machinists. Cosmetic grade is a more purified option. The highest standard is United States Pharmacopeia (USP) pharmaceutical grade, which indicates that it is essentially free of impurities. ... I am not horrified by Mineral oil. But you can do what is right for you. Thanks!

It will improve your fine lines and appearance of skin. I am in my 50's and it did a really good job of making it look more vibrant.

I suppose it could as its not a strong oil that would irritate your skin, I use Coconut oil as a carrier though.

These can be made with mineral oil and colored water, both nontoxic; almost anything else is more expensive, so I imagine that's what's in it. Mineral oil does smell funny.

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

If you have problematic skin, you can mix a touch of rosehip oil. If you are going to use essential oils (like lemon for acne; lavender or frankincense for aging skin), add very, very slowly since they can be irritating to sensitive skin if not diluted enough. Less is more!

This oil is primarily used for the skin, mostly facial skin. It is generally used to reduce scarring. That is how I came across it. I was searching the internet for something I could use to help reduce the appearance of acne scars on my face. I didn't want to use commercial preparations because they generally have not worked on me. I came across rosehip seed oil. Google "uses for rosehip seed oil" and you'll find quite a bit of interesting information. Naturally you'll have to decide what seems legit and what not but I have found that it has worked for me... and I have dark skin. Of course, any effect took a few months to really show any results but I'm happy with my purchase.

Yes, you can. If you want to add a few drops of carrier oil such as mineral oil, almond oil or another carrier oil.

Used with a carrier oil such as coconut oil, black pepper oil is believed to stimulate the production of melanin in the skin, which is beneficial to those diagnosed with vitiligo.

I used to have oily skin (now I don't know. I am getting older). It is not written non comedogenic, but I couldn't notice more pimps or anything. My dermatologist said it is one of the best sun products in the market.

I don't think age matters as much as your skin's condition. If you are having issues with your skin such as fine lines, uneven tone, dullness, and lessened elasticity, then this product could help! I am 39, just starting to notice some fine lines and dullness in my skin, so I decided to try this and have seen measurable results. I love the way it hydrates my face without making me greasy, and it has helped diminish some of my fine lines near my eyes. My skin looks healthy, no breakouts or irritation, and is much softer. I highly recommend this product.

The manufacturer may best be able to answer this question. I'm just a consumer but I store my oil in a cabinet - a dry, cool place because I use my oil relatively quickly (about a couple months for 4 ounces.) I use it on my face, neck, chest, a bit for my hair and my hands. If you think it may be many months before you use up the bottle, then maybe the refrigerator would extend the life of the product. Assuming oils that are natural do have a life span that may be a good idea. Again, a quick email to the manufacturer might be of more help. Cheers!

I really start loving this oil. It is not very light but much lighter than Olive oil and it does better job for my face than both oils. It takes care of your skin dryness deeply and smooth it out. I also like the smell of it.

I haven't used the oil for age spot. I use for dry itchy skin and it's great!

I don't know. I use it up before it has a chance to go bad. day and night. I love Oil of Olay. Have used it since i was a teenager. I am now 60.

Since baby is oil is nothing more than thin mineral oil than skin will not absorb it is more beneficial to use grapeseed or Brahmi oil. Brahmi oil also fights cellulite.
