Most traditional moisturizers use mineral oil, a petroleum derivative, which has emollient properties. Mineral oil brings countless harm to the body. It clogs the pores, preventing the skin from sweating (our skin needs to breathe, eliminate toxins and control body temperature through sweat). Clogged pores favor the appearance of acne and premature aging. So, if you are looking for a product to slow down the aging of your skin and reduce the oil that causes acne, be aware that when using a conventional moisturizer, you may have the opposite effects of what you want.
Vegetable oils increase protection
Additionally, mineral oil is not absorbed by the skin. It only lubricates the dermis superficially and gives a false sensation of hydration. However, organic and natural moisturizers, instead of mineral oils, have vegetable oils in their formulation. Vegetable oils increase protection, have active ingredients that normalize and reinforce the skin structure. Furthermore, they do not clog pores and do not induce the formation of acne. Among other benefits, we can highlight the regenerative, healing and rejuvenating properties of natural moisturizing creams, respect for the environment, they are cruelty-free, that is, they are not tested on animals, they yield a lot with little quantity and have excellent absorption, leaving the soft and silky skin from the first application, without leaving it oily.
