MINERAL OIL VS. PLANT OILS As Carrier/Spreading Agents In Cosmetics: A Modern Reappraisal


It is an ignorant, malicious myth that cosmetic mineral oil clogs pores.
The molecules are too large and oxidatively stable to do so. Ironically, it is plant oils, which initially become thinner as they warm up that will migrate into and clog pores as they progressively oxidise, increase in viscosity and harden extra-cellularly. It is generally not understood how undesirable it is to apply any plant oil to the skin in excess of the crucial amount that can be incorporated into living skin cells within 15 minutes. As natural health consumers, we go to great lengths to acquire and refrigerate cold-pressed food oils, yet fail to consider that plant oils applied to the skin due to body heat and ambient temperatures in addition to the 21% oxygen in the air, ubiquitous daytime ultra-violet light and likely air pollutants are consequently certain to oxidise within a mere 20 minutes, let alone continue to do so all day before eventual removal, prior to which trillions of premature skin-aging & tumour-inducing free radicals and other reactive oxygen species increasingly oxidise the oils and assault the skin. Toxic aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and acids are produced that destroy the biological integrity of cellular essential fatty acids, damage cellular membranes and macromolecules and critical microstructures such as DNA, leading to premature aging, inflammatory skin disorders and skin cancers.

(For a heavier, more oil penetrating coverage, especially for the elderly, see Night Nourishing Cream [No.11])
 
Directions: Apply a light film to the skin after applying the appropriately typed AHA toner, whilst skin is moist.

Contains: a specially formulated low oxidation-potential aqueous cream base; vegetable glycerine; green tea, centella, comfrey allantoin, aloe, kombucha [selenium] & kelp [iodine] extracts; PABA (Vit. B-factor); panthenol; vitamins A, B2 & 6, C & E; zinc oxide; cold-pressed jojoba, sesame, flaxseed, evening primrose & coconut oils and essential oils of lavender, neroli, rose geranium, bitter orange, ylang ylang & German chamomile.
 




(For a lighter, but nutrient richer and more water penetrating coverage, see Cell Repair Cream above)

Directions: Apply a small smear to the skin after applying the appropriately typed AHA toner, whilst skin is moist.

Contains: a specially formulated low oxidation-potential aqueous cream base; cold-pressed coconut, jojoba, flaxseed, & primrose oils; vitamins A, C & E; glycerine; green tea, comfrey allantoin, centella, aloe, kombucha [selenium] & kelp [iodine] extracts; panthenol and essential oils of lavender, geranium & German chamomile.
 



Directions: To shave, after cleansing, apply repeatedly after every round, rinse, towel off and apply as a moisturiser. To moisturise, apply sufficient to leave, after absorption, a hint of residue as a pollution protective barrier, if required. If not shaving, a milder alternative, if the skin is not infected, is the Day Cream listed above.

Contains: a specially formulated low oxidation-potential aqueous cream base; comfrey allantoin, centella, green tea, aloe, kombucha [selenium]& kelp [iodine] extracts; panthenol; PABA (a natural vitamin B-complex factor); zinc oxide; titanium dioxide; vitamins A, B6, C & E; chlorophyll; cold-pressed evening primrose, sesame, jojoba and coconut oils and essential oils of lemon, rose geranium, neroli, tea tree, thyme & German chamomile.

 




Directions: Friction ‘very lightly’ onto clean wet skin, preferably just before retiring. Rinse well. For dry/rough skin, follow with Derma-Optimist (No.7). For acne or eczematous skin conditions, follow later with Comfrey Healing Balm (No. 18) and for the latter, a few minutes later with E.F.A. Cream (No. 17). Can also be used as a masque, if left on the skin to dry following exfoliation and so draw impurities out of congested skin conditions. Caution:
Never use fruit acids for at least 12 hours following exfoliation, except for a few drops in rinsing water to re-establish the acid mantle. Do not to use any other cosmetic product following skin sensitising exfoliation other than those listed above, if at all. Do not exfoliate more than twice weekly (a few days apart) to remove what might be perceived as dry skin when intensively using fruit acid toners, since spent surface cells do filter some UV rays.

Contains
: silicaceous micro-crystals from ancient diatoms; specially formulated low oxidation-potential aqueous cream base; colloidal silver; certified vegetable glycerine; green tea, centella, comfrey allantoin and aloe extracts; vitamin C; cold-pressed sesame & coconut oils and essential oils of lavender, neroli & German chamomile.
 



Directions: Shake well. Avoid contaminating the roller-ball via unclean skin. Starting under the eye area, apply sparingly (rather too little than too much) directly to freshly cleansed skin. Pat into the skin, closing the eyes and finishing on the eyelids with the remaining trace residues to prevent oil migrating into and smarting the eyes.

Contains: cold-pressed jojoba, sesame, flax, evening primrose and coconut oils; mineral oil; vitamins A, C & E and essential oils of neroli, jasmin & ginger. Preserved with ascorbyl palmitate (oil soluble vitamin C) and a trace of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), a well-tested synthetic food anti-oxidant used in butter and snack foods incorporating vegetable oils and long used as a safe exogenous antioxidant by leading life-extension researchers and which, with the minimal exposure for the purpose proposed, we deem the only safe means to prevent the bioactive unsaturated oils comprising this formula from oxidising and becoming a source of toxins and skin-damaging reactive oxygen species
