Now mineral oil is often cited as a safer alternative for cleaning wood and other household uses, but even though it may be a safer option, it is not the best option. Mineral Oil is a petroleum by-product that is used in products such as laxatives, moisturizer, lip gloss, foundation, concealer, facial cleanser, sunscreen, lotion, and baby oil is 100% mineral oil.
So what is the problem with mineral oil? Well, it coats the skin and clogs the pores. Mineral oil is a nonrenewable crude oil that has been hydrolyzed and hydrogenated, which creates a plastic like substance. This interferes with the skins natural ability to eliminate toxins. This can result in acne, premature aging, and act as a barrier to nutrients.

My words of wisdom: Believe in love, in possibility, in going after your dreams, in never stopping, in not existing but living - fully, unapologetically and wildly, believe that all is good, and always trust your gut.
