The hidden Dangers of the popular brand Bio Oil

 Here is the truth about Bio Oil

The first ingredient in it is “Mineral Oil”, a byproduct of petroleum.  I have a book called the cosmetic ingredient glossary that defines Mineral Oil as “A heavy film forming oil and a Clear liquid mixture of hydrocarbons and a byproduct of petroleum.  It is unsuitable for lotions or shampoos as mineral oil coats our skin.  This ingredient is not designed to stay on our skin.

Mineral Oil acts as a layer that’s difficult to absorb & can clog the pores, which slows the skins’ ability to eliminate toxins.

This is such a problem, as our skin is one of our biggest eliminative organs in the body.

When our lungs, liver, kidney and our bowel are not able to keep up with their jobs dealing with those toxins and eliminating them, our body compensates and uses our skin as an eliminative organ.  Now if it is clogged up with all of this mineral oil (like what is found in the bio-oil, how is our skin supposed to do its job ?

Its almost like putting glad wrap on our skin, preventing things from penetrating through it but also prevents it from being able to breath properly.
I also read from a material safety data sheet on mineral oil which says that it is dangerous if swallowed or inhaled. Don’t we put Bio-Oil on our face ? How close is that to our mouth and our nose ? Isn’t it a risk that we may sometimes be breathing that in ?

It also says that Mineral Oil causes irritation to our skin, eyes and respiratory system. In fact it specifically talks about causing breathing problems if we breath it in…. But of course, aren’t the majority of people using this going to put this on their face !
Lets look at the 2nd ingredient listed on the Bio Oil label.  I cant pronounce it properly.   I looked it up and found that it is referred to as a ‘penetration enhancer’.   The info about this states that it alters the skins structure allowing other chemicals to penetrate deeper into our skin.

Now here is the 100% natural alternative

Organic Shea butter has been used to help heal burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, eczema and stretch marks.

This makes the skin more elastic and supple. It also helps the skin to be more accommodating to the stretching and increase in weight and bulk associated with pregnancy.

Eczema causes a painful itching that is almost impossible to ignore. Left untreated it can cause many future problems for those who suffer from it even leaving lasting scars. Many lotions only irritate eczema further, causing even more discomfort. The typical creams that are used to treat skin eczema are known as anti-inflammatory creams. While some of them are available over-the-counter, most of them can only be obtained with a doctor's prescription and they are not guaranteed to work. The downside of prescription creams is that they can be very expensive and most contain steroids.

The emollient effect of Shea butter is not difficult to explain nor is it in anyway controversial, but it has been demonstrated in scientific studies. A trial of a cream containing 5% shea butter was shown to be beneficial in subjects suffering from eczema. In another study the degree of moisturisation of the skin was measured using conductivity measurements. An hour and a half after the application of raw Shea butter the measured moisturisation was 31% higher. Even 8 hours after application the skin was still reading 20% higher than at the start of the experiment.
