These pseudo natural skin care oils are known as mineral oil, and paraffin wax, and they are incapable of effectively penetrating your skin due to how dense they are. These oils are all derivatives drawn from plants, and they contain a wealth of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids that are necessary for the health of your skin. In my mind anything that is unintentionally created by a man-made process is not really "natural", and I am sure that others would agree with this. What the majority of the cosmetics companies try to pass off as natural compounds are derivatives of a petroleum byproduct. All natural essential oils are the best for your skin and without these compounds a product does not have much to offer. Most of the companies in the cosmetics industry are not providing you with the natural skin care oils that you need in order to treat your skin effectively. That is not important however, because the point is that these compounds offer nothing to your skin.

The substance that they are derived from is so.
