First, let’s understand what mineral oil is:
Are vegetable oils or mineral oils better for makeup removal products?
Did you know? Some brands on the market have stated that their makeup removers use "cosmetic" grade mineral oil (Paraffinum Liquidum). However, even though it is a more highly refined "cosmetic" grade mineral oil, it is still worth noting.
First, let’s understand what mineral oil is:
Most mineral oil is derived from petroleum, mineral oil is produced in very large quantities and is inexpensive. It has large molecules and contains no nutrients. Although it can form a stable protective film on the skin's surface, it cannot be absorbed by the skin. For users with high sebum production, it is easier for pores to become clogged, leading to acne and worsening skin conditions.
◤The harm of mineral oil to the skin◢
❶ Passive hydration
▸▸▸While sealing in moisture on the epidermis, it hinders the discharge of waste, which can cause whiteheads, blackheads, clogged pores, and acne.
❷ Unable to breathe
▸▸▸The skin is the body's largest organ—mineral oil can damage the natural barrier and the development of normal cells.
▸▸▸Pores are closed, and the skin cannot breathe.
▸▸▸Pores, sweat glands, and normally functioning sebaceous glands are all sealed off.
▸▸▸Skin metabolites cannot escape and are cut off from the air, causing damage to the skin's normal physiological functions.
▸▸▸Yellowing, dullness, and increasingly enlarged pores result in unhealthy skin.
❸ Strong adhesion
▸▸▸Mineral oil can cause the skin to become dirtier, and its oiliness is not easy to clean. Even if it is removed, it is not a thorough cleansing, and it can bring all kinds of problems to our skin, so everyone must be careful when using it.

◤ Are plant-based or mineral oils better for makeup remover products? ◢⠀
Plant-based oils are natural and have a structure similar to human skin lipids, making them easily absorbed by the skin,with excellent permeability; for instance, the squalene in olive oil is an essential component of sebum,making it very easy for the skin to absorb.
In contrast, most mineral oils are petroleum-derived, mainly serving to form a protective film and provide lubrication, with poor absorption.
▸▸▸Plant-based Oil
Plant-based oil ingredients are natural and beneficial, easily absorbed by the skin to nourish it, promoting healthier skin cells,fundamentally improving the skin's moisture retention, repair capability, and resistance to external irritants;
▸▸▸Mineral Oil
The main function of mineral oil products is moisturizing by preventing trans-epidermal water loss, with no nutritional value;long-term accumulated use can partially replace the function of the skin's stratum corneum, making it more fragile;a small portion of mineral oil penetrates the skin, causing dullness with long-term use;for oily and combination skin, it can easily clog pores, leading to acne; and can irritate sensitive skin, inducing dermatitis.
Why not check the makeup remover you're using tonight? It might be the culprit behind your closed comedones/blackheads. Which one is your choice?
