About this deal

The famous or maybe rather infamous mineral oil. The clear oily liquid that is the "cheap by-product" of refining crude oil and the one that gets a lot of heat for its poor provenance. It is a very controversial ingredient with pros and cons and plenty of mythsaround it. So let us see them:

Hydrating Daily Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid- Albolene

There are few products or brands out there that are as classic as the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser. Albolene has been around for well over a century, having established their first formulas in 1885. But just being the brand has been around for so long, doesn’t mean that they’ve strayed from their roots. In fact, the brand is still very minimalistic in its approach, preferring quality over quantity. The Moisturizing Cleanser is an excellent example of their unique approach to skincare. This multi-use product was designed to serve as your all in one for removing makeup, cleansing the skin and moisturizing in one convenient step. The formula behind this product contains no fragrance or harsh chemicals, so there’s no dry or tight feeling left after you rinse this product away. Instead, the oil and petroleum rich base that makes up the core of this formula helps to ensure that skin is protected, soothed and moisturized after you cleanse. A clear, oily liquid that comes from refining crude oil. Even though it is a highly controversial ingredient, the scientific consensus is that it is a safe, non-irritating and effective emollient and moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity. Paraffin is a soft, colorless wax-like solid that consists of a mixture of saturated hydrocarbon molecules which are created by the distillation of petroleum. It is a skin-conditioning ingredient that contains lubrication properties and can also help retain moisture in the skin. One problem with paraffin is that it can clog pores and promote the development of comedonal acne. While this may not be a major issue with Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser since it is intended to be washed off, it is still something to be aware of.Depending on your skin type you may or may not need to use additional skin care products, such as facial serums or moisturizers after cleansing. Since my skin is dry, I usuallyfinish with a few drops of a nourishing facial oil and a bit of eye cream right before bed. You can make your own homemade facial oil too if you’d like! Glyceryl Stearate SE: Skin conditioning agent and emollient; as well as stabilizes ingredients in the formula to prevent freezing or crusting. The famous Vaseline orPetroleum Jelly. Just like mineral oil, it is also a by-product of refining crude oil, aka petroleum, and it is also a mixture ofhydrocarbons but with bigger (C18-90+) carbon chain length. Trust us, if something is used for more than 100 years in cosmeticproducts, it hasadvantages. Chemically speaking, cosmetic grade mineral oil is a complex mixture ofhighly refined saturated hydrocarbons with C15-50 chain length.It is not merely a "by-product" but rather a specifically isolated part of petroleum that is very pure and inert.

While the skincare category has made significant strides to transform how our culture defines what's beautiful, there remains opportunity to push for more inclusive and holistic definitions," said Tyler Smith, Albolene Marketing Lead for Bridges Consumer Healthcare. "Albolene continues to champion all forms of self-expression. No matter if you feel that your most beautiful self is bare-faced fresh out of a shower or in a full face of makeup ready for a night out, we want to empower our consumers to live confidently in their skin and use our cleansers as a nourishing foundation to show off their authentic selves." It is also non-comedogenic, though its pure form is very heavy and greasy so combination and oily skin typesmight want to avoid it anyway.
