Description
This petroleum-derived oil acts as a moisturizing agent that helps soften skin and lock in hydration by forming a protective barrier on the surface. It's commonly used in skincare products as a solvent to help blend other ingredients together smoothly. While generally considered safe for topical use, some people prefer to avoid petroleum-based ingredients due to personal preferences or concerns about potential pore-clogging effects.
