Is mineral oil carcinogenic?
I can't tell you why mineral oil is carcinogenic but I can tell you that when given to lab rats in small doses, they die. This includes topical, injected, and oral doeses. The four fastest ways for anything to be absorbed into your body are: 1) IV 2)through the skin, 3) under the tongue, and 4) oral digestion. Mineral oil is basically crude oil. Crude oil is also what motor oil is, mineral oil is just more refined than motor oil. Petroleum jelly is also basically the same thing only hardened. It has been proven that mineral oil is carcinogenic. With that in mind, think about all the skin care products you use on you or your children that contain mineral oil; especially as a main ingredient. Baby oil is mineral oil with fregrance added. If you use baby oil to tan or for "moisture" you are slathering yourself up with one big cancer-causing cocktail. Mineral oil is used in these products because it is cheap, it is readily available, and it is a great emulsifier. Mineral oil is a giant molecule that has lots of attachment sites for water to cling to. When this happens the molecule gets really fluffy and looks creamy like lotions. It is a great, cheap filler to cosmetic and personal care producers. Want to find baby products and other personal care products that contain no mineral oil, or anything that causes cancer for that matter?
