What is Mineral Oil?

Mineral oil is a colorless, odorless by-product of petroleum distillation, widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizing and occlusive agent. While generally safe, some consumers prefer to avoid it in favour of plant-based oils, or due to concerns about its feel or non-breathable properties.

Why is Mineral Oil Detection Important?

• Verify “Mineral Oil-Free” Claims: Accurately identify the presence or absence of mineral oil in your products.
