baby oil

Johnson's Baby Oil is a popular product used for baby massage and skincare. It is made with a combination of ingredients, including mineral oil, isopropyl palmitate, and fragrance. The mineral oil used in the product is a controversial ingredient with both pros and cons. It is a great emollient and moisturizer, working mainly by occlusivity, and is non-irritating to the skin. However, it is a cheap material and has been connected to petrolatum, making it easy to demonize. The pure, cosmetic grade version of mineral oil does not contain carcinogenic components, and there is no scientific data showing that it is carcinogenic. The product is also available with added vitamin E, which is an antioxidant. Other baby oils on the market may contain natural and nourishing ingredients such as almond oil, coconut oil, lavender oil, and squalane, which is a 100% sugarcane-derived, sustainable ingredient that mimics the vernix, baby's first built-in moisturizer
