That “moisturizing” lip balm might not be as safe as you think…
If you see these words on a label 👇🏽
Paraffinum liquidum | Petrolatum | Cera microcristallina | Mineral oil
You are not using nutrition for your skin you are using a petroleum by-product.
Yes, mineral oil is cheap.
Yes, it lasts forever on shelves.
Yes, it makes skin feel soft.
❌ But here’s what most brands won’t tell you:
Mineral oil contains MOSH & MOAH hydrocarbons.
• MOAH potentially carcinogenic
• MOSH can accumulate in organs when ingested through the month.
That’s why the real concern is lip products, not lotions because what goes on your lips often ends up inside your body.
Vegetable oils don’t just coat the skin.
They feed it with fatty acids, antioxidants & vitamins and they’re safe even if ingested.
👉 Skin deserves nourishment, not petroleum.
