Mineral Oil, Petroleum, & Petrolatum

« Back to Glossary Index

Mineral Oil, Petroleum, & Petrolatum is a lipid-based ingredient used in skincare for its moisturizing, nourishing, and protective benefits. Oils contain essential fatty acids that help strengthen the skin barrier, prevent transepidermal water loss, and improve overall skin elasticity. Different oils serve unique purposes—for example, jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, making it ideal for balancing oily skin, while rosehip oil is packed with vitamins and antioxidants that help reduce hyperpigmentation and support skin regeneration.
