What is in lotion that makes it soft?
Just the l The answer above was very inaccurate. The majority of lotions are used for skin softening/moisturizing. Not all brands use this chemical, but petroleum is often involved. Petroleum goes under many names (Petroleum, Petrolatum, White Petrolatum, Mineral Oil, etc.) and can actually be very harmful. Petroleum clogs your pores and sends the chemical into your body, which can actually cause skin cancer and skin problems. My advice would be to avoid petroleum, so check the ingredients for the names listed above. That probably didn't answer your question. What I'm saying is that typically, petroleum is used as a moisturizing agent in lotions and creams but not always. Some products do not use petroleum, so I would recommend reaching out to those.
