The following quote has been "lifted" from Christine....

"Lets look at MINERAL OIL…than ask yourself do I want this in my products for my skin,,,,or on my machines……

It is produced as a byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil. Mineral oil is the leftover liquid, and because it is abundant, it is very inexpensive. In fact, it is more expensive to dispose of mineral oil, than to purchase it. The problem is that mineral oil is foreign to the human body and has many harmful effects, especially on a baby.

Mineral oil acts as a thin plastic layer on the skin. Think of that!!!!!!!

It is difficult to absorb and clogs the pores, which slows the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins. Remember, the skin is the body’s largest organ and plays an important role in maintaining overall health!

Once the oil is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and passes through the intestinal tract……….. And once the oil is present in the intestinal tract, it will absorb all of the fat-soluble vitamins found there. It is essentially stealing important vitamins from the body, which the body will not be able to replace. This can eventually lead to nutritional deficiencies…………."
