I have heard that it is bad but, I am reading something saying that it is an excellent amplifier or intensifier allowing skin to absorb uv more effectively. Just curious. Thanks a lot.

mineral oil= BAD

engfant

magnifying glass also does this. Wouldn't recommend it though.

Also heard that if you have tattoos mineral oil will eventually distort the pigment of colors

You wanna use it outdoors, go ahead, but definitely not tanning bed acrylic friendly.

Mineral oil & petroleum is bad for your skin. They stripe your tan. It can't be absorbed into you skin because the molecules are too large. They sit on the top of the skin and clogs pore. Mineral oil is supposed to be the 2nd aging element to the sun. Take a cracker and put it into baby oil (baby oil is pure mineral oil). The cracker doesn't get soggy. I haven't tried this one yet, but I'm told if you put a prune in mineral oil it preserves it vs. if you put it into water it will plump it. Mineral oil will also damage your acrylics and cause premature cracking. If it does this to your bed what does it do to your skin. Some countries it is illegal to use in skin care products. Why do you think all the really good lotions are made with natural oils? Mineral oil & petroleum are man made and comes from crude oil. It is cheaper for manufactures to use then to dispose of. 98% of the products out there contain mineral oil. Look at the labels in the stores. Make up such as eye shadows, blush, lipsticks & lotions. I have cust who complain that they just aren't getting very dark. When I ask what kind of moisturizer they are using it is usually one with mineral. They will change their moisturizer and they start getting darker.
