What is the basis of most cosmetics?
Correct answer: Petroleum

town01, not wearing makeup does not make a girl butch, just natural.

Personally, I prefer to use avocado, grapeseed oil and coconut oil to moisturize my skin. Skin loves plant based oils, it offers nutrients and is very hydrating, do you really want to put something akin to motor oil on instead?

You can find makeup and moisture without petroleum n mineral oil in it.

town01, I guess "to each their own", as the saying goes. I don't wear makeup a lot...causes blemishes so I go without. My husband loves me with or without and I feel natural not like a butch girl at all, assuming butch here means without makeup.

I found out from a barrel of oil they make materials for clothing like shirts, crazy what you can get from oil, petrol etc

Please be careful of what products you use on your face, especially in the United States. It's horrifying what toxic chemicals the FDA? allows to be in them.
Many of the products used here are banned in other countries, because they know better, have better regulations and DEMAND health over profits.

I agree. I don't want petrol on my face😝

That's why I get sick being exposed to synthetic fragrances because they petroleum based. In recent years they are increasingly embedded in many products

Lots of makeup products in USA are not FDA approved but still make it to market.

mayet, check the company you get power from a lot of them have asbestos in them

Unless they are what we call “Organic” here in the USA 🇺🇸 They don’t contain petroleum products.

lynami66, well in organic make up I have seen it used as a colourant along with vegetable dyes so maybe not so far off. I also have also recently seen a documentary on DW Welle on mica being mined by young children in India where they are being exploited all for the make up industry & are not ppe nor any shoes at all for that matter. Yep it’s harder said that done when once doesn’t know the choices made by the company but I try to by organic ethical products whenever possible is not easy sometimes when one doesn’t have the money that gives the ability to choose the better products.

Didn't even think of that answer. Partially because I thaught of makeup and because I avoid all petroleum based products.

Just think of ALL the Wars that could have been avoided, if MEN had to put their "Makeup" on, before going out & doing battle???
I missed a lot of movie beginnings in my youth. ⏰

penawareof, I wish I could wear mascara. My lashes are so thin and sparse... I poke myself every time.

mineral oil leaches the fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) from the skin. Greatest rebranding ever is "baby oil" the sludge left after all the usable products are extracted from crude oil.
