Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer, 16.8 Fluid Ounce

Product Information

It is a great emollient and moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity.Occlusivity is one of the basic mechanisms of how moisturizers work and it means that mineral oilsits on top of the skin and hinders so-called trans-epidermal water loss, i.e water evaporating out of your skin. When compared to heavy-duty plant oil, extra virgin coconut oil, the two of them were equally efficient and safe as moisturizers in treating xerosis, a skin condition connected to very dry skin.

While it is true that industrial grade mineral oil contains carcinogenic components (so-calledpolycyclic compounds), these are completely removed from cosmetic and food grade mineral oil and there is no scientific data showing that the pure, cosmetic grade version is carcinogenic. Nonetheless, if you have oily skin, Jergens Shea Butter Moisturiser is a good alternative for topical treatment. These body washes are also good for oily skin IngredientsTrust us, if something is used for more than 100 years in cosmeticproducts, it hasadvantages. Chemically speaking, cosmetic grade mineral oil is a complex mixture ofhighly refined saturated hydrocarbons with C15-50 chain length.It is not merely a "by-product" but rather a specifically isolated part of petroleum that is very pure and inert. I had a huge awakening when I discovered the Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturiser. Before I bought this lotion, I had been using The Nivea Nourishing Body Milk with Almond Oil. It was really moisturising and aside from the fact that it was more suitable for someone with dry skin, I would’ve kept using it. I chose the Jergens Shea Butter Deep conditioning Moisturiser, which comes in a 621 ml/21Fl OZ bottle. What I liked

INGREDIENTS: WATER, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, STEARIC ACID, PETROLATUM, DIMETHICONE, OCTYLDODECYL MYRISTATE, HYDROXYETHYL UREA, MINERAL OIL, CETEARETH-20, CETYL ESTERS, ETHYLHEXYL ISONONANOATE, HYDROGENATED POLYDECENE, METHYLPARABEN, DMDM HYDANTOIN, MANGIFERA INDICA (MANGO) SEED BUTTER, THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED BUTTER, ARGININE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, FRAGRANCE, PROPYLPARABEN, CARBOMER, CARAMEL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE.Another super common myth surrounding mineral oil is that it is comedogenic. A 2005 study titled"Is mineral oil comedogenic?" examined this very question and guess what happened? The study concluded that" based on the animal and human data reported, along with the AAD recommendation, it would appear reasonable to conclude that mineral oil is noncomedogenic in humans." Whenever you press down on the actuator and rotate the seal to close the pump, the lotion tends to come out since some of it remains in the pump. For this reason, it’s good to close the pump before you finish applying the moisturizer and use the dispensed product on areas you need to. Nonetheless, this is not a very significant factor because the lotion has a rich texture, which prevents it from oxidizing. The moisturizer has a pleasant, vanilla-like mild scent which lingers on the skin without leaving a heavy scent. Thus, it can be used by someone allergic to strong fragrances or one who doesn’t like accentuated scents. Texture The Jergens Shea butter moisturizer is readily available on local stores and online platforms such as Jumia.
