Night time Exotic Butter Moisturizer 8oz: Absorbs Easily W/ 1 Bar of soap
Before going any further, check our feedback (click here)> for Uncensored FEEDBACK! THIS IS A NEW LARGER SIZE (8 Ounces, 236 mL) IN A PUMP. I care about what I put on my face. You clicked here, so I'm guessing you do too! Brace yourself. You just won't believe what is in your moisturizer! A short story, that solved a mystery for
me. Ingredient labels were at one time were a big puzzle for me. Some
of the ingredients had names that seemed made up (they actually are). Some were
so long they were unpronounceable.
How can that be? I've never seen anything on any label for any moisturizer that says anything about animal ingredients. They use many other words for it. Stearic acid, stearates, glycerin, and also many other chemicals (unless it's marked vegetable it is normally made from animals). There ought to be a law. Yes there should be. But there isn't. Manufacturers don't have to disclose the source of their ingredients. They just need to tell you the ingredients' chemical names. That's why they use all the names that mean nothing to regular people. Stearic Acid. What is it? Stearates, stearic acid and waxes along with glycerin work to combine the oils and water together. They are essential to make a smooth creamy moisturizer! They are the reason moisturizers work so much better than just using plain oil, is due to this oil and water combination, which helps get the oils down into the skin replace lost lipids. Thereby moisturizing without that greasy feeling. The Strearic Acids and the Glycerin and Waxes can be made from either vegetables or animals. So why do they ALL use animal ingredients? They cost a little less. Not much. But a few pennies adds up though when you are selling millions of jars and bottles. And up until recently no one cared. In fact, almost no one knew. In fact, unless a moisturizer says no animal derived products, it is just about guaranteed they used animal based products.
I enjoy all of your
products, and have done so since I placed my first order with you. I
just celebrated another birthday, on the 14th of this month; I turned
67 .............and several people tell me that I do not look it at
all.
This pleases me greatly, and has a great deal to do with the use of
your products, plus the fact that I rely on a number of daily vitamins
to keep me going. Dear
clearandsmooth, Most use this product at night. Since it absorbs so well, not everyone finds this is a good foundation for make up. Most find they wake in the morming with soft and supple skin. But some do use a thin layer during the day and love it. Experiment. This is my 2nd order; and I love your product! I, along with many others,
have been "sucked" in at the cosmetic counters and have spent a small fortune on
my skin. This is as good as any product can get! This mousturizer makes my skin feel fabulous! I wish I found this 15 years ago! Buyer: juliann36(2) This wonderful cream leaves my skin soft, and nourished. A super value. Buyer: nider1(45) Hi Steve,

COMMENTS: I had to write and tell you that I have been using your moisturizer for just a week now and already I see a remarkable change in my skin. My combination skin is now one type - healthy. It glows. I am 44 years old and have been using moisturizers since I was 25 and this has to be the best one that I have found. Even with all the different types of oils in it, it is NOT greasy. Also the light scent is wonderful. Dear Clear and Smooth: I don't have the body moisturizer yet, but I am sure it is going to be as amazing as the rest of your products. All my life (I'm 36 now) I have had combination, sensitive, troublesome skin with clogged pores and occassional big breakouts. My skin was always okay at a distance, and would look bad by the end of the day. I tried just about everything and I have to say your scrub and soap are the best cleanser and treatment I have ever used. About your facial moisturizer. I bought it hoping and praying that this time, I will have found a moisturizer that keeps it's promises. Who would have thought I could put all of these oils, including what's in the scrub and soap, on my face. I knew that the right oils would be good for my skin, but not in such obundance. I don't look oily at all ! I wake up in the morning after applying in the evening, and my skin is as fresh and smooth as the night before. My big pores are tightening. I am pale and my skin is starting to have that milky, porcelin doll look to it. And it feels so soft. No dry and oily patches! I am not even using concealer anymore. I just dust a little powder on my face and I'm off. Not only do your products work. They work FAST. I think a big part of their success on my skin is they are the right combination of high quality ingredients, without any animal bi-products and no crazy chemicals or preservatives to irritate my skin. I am so impressed I am telling everyone about it. I look forward to the continued use of Clear and Smooth products and what they are doing for me. Many thanks !!!! Nicolle
Dear
clearandsmooth,
Steve - I ordered your moisturizer cream about two weeks ago and I
absolutely love it. I put in on morning and night. The most amazing
thing is how it sinks into your skin so quickly and does not leave an
oily residue, just beautifully soft skin. I don't think I'm dreaming
but I could swear my wrinkles are disappearing. I just turned 66 years
old.
Hi, thanks again for your wonderful products! Everyone keeps asking me
what I am doing with my skin!! Re-order. This order is for my daughter, who is
swiping mine, which has got to stop! User: jigglypuff132(18) Praise: this is a great moisturizer, the texture of my skin has improved in only 2 days Hi There! I got your email and I actually am a repeat customer. This is about my seventh or eighth purchase. As always I am very satisfied and pleased Since 1999, we have been selling a skin treatment product quite successfully on eBay. One thing many of our customers asked for was a good moisturizer we could recommend. So we started looking for one we could just recommend. We do that a lot with other products. But everywhere we looked we saw these awful animal based ingredients, mineral oil (which is in everything), and paraben preservatives so powerful that 20 years from now you could still use product (God knows why?). We did find a couple of boutique products we liked. But they were incredibly expensive. Little tiny jars. And we really weren't all that impressed with the quality or selection of ingredients they did use. So after many more requests from our customers we set out to make the best moisturizer we could make. Spare no expense, we wanted the best. And cruelty free! We figured if our customers asked for it, we knew there had to be a need. And even with the best ingredients, we'd make it in a large sizes that would last awhile and felt we could get the price right selling direct without all those middle men. The funny thing about this moisturizer is at first we didn't advertised it. And we noticed we were selling a lot of it. People would just see it on our shopping cart on our web site and buy when they were reordering our Acne cleanser. We just figured people were sampling it. We never really paid too much attention, except we started noticing people were reordering and posting additional comments on our feedback forum about it. And emailing us and mentioning how much they loved it. This led us to decide to promote it on eBay. We think we have a wonderful product here that a lot of people love using and feel good about using. User: spudley2 (57) Praise: Moisturizer is WONDERFUL!! I highly recommend it to everyone! Hi guys: I have to write to tell you that I appreciate the moisturizing cream. I am a long-time user of Elizabeth Arden, which is way too expensive to use now. Your cream is every bit as good. I say this on the heels of a truly hard winter in New York City, a winter that isn't officially over yet!!! Again, thank you. I will re-order soon for myself and for one of my sisters. Sara This from one of our regular customers: User: moonhunt18(27) Praise: in conjunction w/ the soap+cleanzer, the moisturizer gives me smooth clear skin encender( 22) Praise : Best moisturizer EVER! Hard to find good cruelty free product-Don't ever change! User: the-surfisher(302) Praise: The best moisturizer on Ebay!!! Fantastic stuff AAAAAAAAA++++++++++ Before you go ahead with this, we recommend you read our eBay Uncensored Feedback, you will find many comments about our moisturizer, but keep in mind, many of these comments are also about our acne treatment which we have been listing on eBay since 1999. Although these two products go together wonderfully, this moisturizer is NOT a treatment for acne, but a fabulous moisturizer your skin will just drink up and you will feel good about using. Did we skimp on anything? We talked with our container supplier and he told us a funny story.
He said these big companies that make these expensive moisturizers, spend a
fortune designing the jars. They do customer surveys and use focus groups to
pick the most desirable container. He laughed and said that they put the same
ingredients inside, but their real focus is on the look of the jar. Here's a note on a reorder: thanks nancy Thanks Nancy, that's because of all the healing properties of the ingredients we use. privateye( 357) Praise : Fantastic moisturizer, no greasy after effect - just soft skin! How is this possible for it not to be greasy with all the exotic oils and butters we use? Because we use absorbing healing emollients rather than mineral oil which just sits on top of the skin. MORE FEEDBACK. Like we said, with these big boy's, it's all about the Jars. The jars have just got to look good. What's inside, who cares. Put it into a nice (small) jar and put a $235.00 price on it and they will buy! Designer Moisturizers? What are they going to think of next? Designer toilet paper? Look if you want a real nice moisturizer that just melts into the skin and makes your skin feel wonderful even the next day. Buy this! If you want to feel good about what you are putting on your face. And you'll know no animal died for your skin. Buy this! If you want anyone who looks into your medicine cabinet to think you are really cool and have loads of money. Go to Neiman Marcus' web site and slap that $235.00 Natural Bisse on the Discover Card and enjoy. When that jar is empty, buy a jar of ours and put it in the empty jar (you be able to fill their jar twice or more). You'll always be cool AND look good. OK very funny, now what's in it? We use only the freshest, highest quality ingredients we can find.
Mango Butter: (Mangifera indica) A luxurious Butter imported from India made from the seeds of the Mango Fruit tree. We use this butter purely for it's luxurious feel and absorbency. It seems to help carry the other oils deep into the skin. You'll only find this is the quality stuff and rarely a primary ingredient. Kukui Nut Oil: (Aleurites moluccana) Kukui nut oil, brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers, is quickly absorbed into the skin. Kukui nut oil is high in linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids. Excellent for skin conditioning after sun exposure, as well as for acne, eczema, psoriasis, hemorrhoids, dry/wrinkled skin and offers good protection for outdoor sports. It offers just the right amount of lubrication without leaving a greasy feeling. Excellent for chapped skin and may prevent scarring. It is very expensive, but makes our moisturizer extra special. We use the good stuff too from Hawaii (at about $140 gallon, it has to kept under lock and key). To show you how far we go to find the best products, here is an example. This Kukui Nut oil is also available from other countries at about half the price, but it is solvent extracted (if at all possible, we don't use solvent extracted ingredients, just expeller pressed products, except some of the essences are only available that way). Instead of a light sweet smell, like the good stuff from Hawaii, it has a heavy chemical odor. We won't touch it. Macadamia Nut Oil: (Macadamia integrifolia) This tree is native to Australia. Also known as Queensland nut oil, this cold pressed oil is high in palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that acts as an antioxidant, preventing deterioration of cell membranes. For mature skin it is hydrating and gentle. It is a skin lubricant and is easily absorbed by the skin, sometimes described as a "vanishing oil." Helpful in cases of sunburn and wound healing. Shea Butter; (Butyrospermum parkii) World renown for many incredible healing properties, but not commonly used here in the USA. The Shea tree grows in the wooded savannahs in west Africa (Ghana, Mali and Burkina Faso). The fruit is harvested by the natives and hand processed to the finished butter product. This is how we buy it. Often times though you'll find it as a minor ingredient in some supposedly high quality moisturizers. We use a special natural variety. Most Shea Butter used here in the USA is commercially processed to remove the natural color and odor, or industrially extracted with hexane solvent (a carcinogen). Traces of hexane can be in the resulting Shea Butter. Hexane extraction yields more butter, but it is odorless and white and quite frankly about as good mineral oil. Which as far as we are concerned, is no good! You can also feel good about using this ingredient, because income from Shea helps poor women in West Africa who hand make it in a complicated process involving boiling in water. Hemp Seed Oil: (Cannabis sativa) This is one of the more effective skin-care oils with a wonderful nutty smell. Hemp seed oil is derived from the seed of the plant Cannabis sativa, best known as the marijuana plant, and least known for its many productive uses. It is dark and thick and gives our product it's slightly green cast. Hemp seed oil has none of the intoxicating properties of the leaves. Since hemp cannot be legally grown in the U.S., the supply of its oil is low and the price high. Hemp seeds produce a vegetable oil that is high in protein and can be used within a variety of foods and cosmetics. Alpha linolenic, linoleic and oleic acids–the essential fatty acids known as the omegas–make up 88% of the total fatty-acid content. Its moisturizing properties when used in proper strengths are absolutely magical. Apricot Kernal Oil: (Armeniaca vulgaris, Prunis armeniaca) Apricot Kernel is a light but rich oil which is especially good for sensitive skin, as well as for and skin that is inflamed or dry. It can be used alone or in massage and is used quite often in lip balms and creams. It is particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature or sensitive skin. It has a high vitamin A content. Aren't there other Natural moisturizers on the market? Like
in health food stores? What are the other ingredients and why do we use them? Reverse Osmosis Purified Water, goes without saying, R/O
water is the gold standard in purifying water. Few cosmetic companies do this. We make this product fresh on an as needed basis. We don't make 100's of thousands of jars ahead of time, and then store it for years at a time as most moisturizers are made to save money. I like to say there is a bit of the art in making this product. It can only be made in small batches of 200 Jars or bottles. It is hand made and mixed with care by our master moisturizer maker. Each ingredient must be added in a certain order and with the proper temperature in mind. That's why our competition hasn't figured it out yet. (They all use thickeners which aren't true moisturizers.) Put this together wrong, even using all the right ingredients and it will be a useless glop. We are so picky that about 1 out of 5 batches has to be destroyed, because they just don't meet our standards. Does it feel greasy? No it is luxurious and creamy. We use absorbing oils and butters. Not mineral oil. Here's a recent note: I was completely knocked off my feet by the moisturizer! After countless over-the-counter moisturizers and creams, I can honestly say this is the best thing that has ever touched my face! It absorbs SO damn quickly and makes me look g-r-e-a-t!" HI STEVE!!! I received your package in the mail today with my soap and NEW MOISTURIZER, I just had to write you, I JUST finished doing my usual face wash before bed, and I tried your moisturizer for the first time... IT'S FABULOUS!!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! I cant stop touching my face, it's like SATIN!!! Wendy How can a $150.00 moisturizer sell for 20 bucks? Why are most moisturizers on the market
just junk? Even some of the
expensive ones are not all that good. They are mostly mineral oils with animal
based binders. But they smell nice(?) and the jars look nice on the counter. HERE'S HOW IT TYPICALLY WORKS. A mediocre product that costs say $6.00 to make including the jar (sorry, you can be sure the jar cost more than the contents, this is just a FACT with almost all moisturizers, except ours). It goes to a distributor who marks it up to say $12.00 then to a stylish store (hey, we don't blame them, they got to make a profit) that sets the selling price to say $31.95, then might offer it 'On Sale' for say $24.95. When it's all said and done, it's still just a mediocre product with mineral oil. mineral oil, what is it? Fresh Squeezed Minerals?!?! It's a petroleum product. Yes it's a by-product when they make gasoline. Real Greasy, Stays on top of your skin. Only reason it is used is that it seals the skin and holds in the moisture. So yes it does sort of work. After you take a bath, you slather it on and it seals the skin to hold in the moisture you got from the bath. That is until you get in bed and it is all rubbed off on your sheets. That's why you need to put more on in the morning and change your sheets often. No Phthalates! What the heck are Phthalates? Phthalates were originally invented for the plastics industry, to keep plastics soft and flexible. But they also discovered that they were great to keep fragrances and other ingredients 'fresh' for years. Maybe decades. This is an important consideration when you are making products by the millions at one time. You see moisturizers today are made in huge factories. Only a handful make all the moisturizers in the world. All of the big names companies that sell moisturizers go to these factories and have them bid on their new moisturizer. Or when inventories get low to make another few million jars. You see it's much cheaper to make a bunch of a products at once. Then they can sit in warehouses and store shelves for years until they are all sold. But there is a problem. How do you keep a delicate product like a moisturizer for years? This is when they decided to start using Phthalates. Hey if it can keep plastics soft and flexible for years why wouldn't it work for skin products. Problem is this stuff is this stuff gets absorbed into the skin and into your body. No one really knows what the level of toxicity is on this stuff. The government that is supposed to protect us, doesn't even require the manufacturer to even mention this ingredient on the label. Hi, Dear clearandsmooth, Thanks! And yues that is the correct address. we look very much forward to receiving this item. My husband is on list for liver transplant and his skin is so dry and itchy ! It is the only thing that has helped!! Thanks again! Goldie
Why do they use Mineral oil? It's cheap! A few dollars for a gallon of MINERAL OIL. As a comparison to our Kukui Nut oil. We use the good stuff from Hawaii. And we pay over $140 for a gallon. Why do WE use exotic oils and butters? The real question everyone should be asking is: Why are they not used more often? They have absolutely wonderful properties and the longer you use them the better your skin feels. But they are harder to work with on a larger scale. And they do vary in consistency. So more supervision is needed. It's easy to have a minimum wage worker just pour in a bucket of mineral oil. Cook it with waxes and binders. Load up on a bunch of commercial artificial preservatives so it can sit on a shelf for 3 or 4 years until someone comes along and likes the pretty jar well enough to buy it 'On Sale'. I love your moisturizer. It’s made a bigger difference for my skin. I used to have dry skin and that would cause break outs, and tried many kinds of moisturizers. The others made my skin breakout, and more oily. Yours doesn’t and in fact I use it up 3 times daily to keep my face hydrated and it doesn’t break out or look oily – instead it glows. 8/17/02 Healing properties? We have to be careful here. We can't make you any promises. Rashes? Got to try this!, Broken skin? Got to try this! Cracked skin? Got to try this! Eczema? Got to try this! Dermatitis? Got to try this! Wrinkles? Got to try this!

Put it into a nice (small) jar and put a $235.00 price on it and they will buy! Designer Moisturizers? What are they going to think of next? Designer toilet paper? Look if you want a real nice moisturizer that just melts into the skin and makes your skin feel wonderful even the next day. Buy this! If you want to feel good about what you are putting on your face. And you'll know no animal died for your skin. Buy this! If you want anyone who looks into your medicine cabinet to think you are really cool and have loads of money. Go to Neiman Marcus' web site and slap that $235.00 Natural Bisse on the Discover Card and enjoy. When that jar is empty, buy a jar of ours and put it in the empty jar (you be able to fill their jar twice or more). You'll always be cool AND look good. OK very funny, now what's in it? We use only the freshest, highest quality ingredients we can find.
Mango Butter: (Mangifera indica) A luxurious Butter imported from India made from the seeds of the Mango Fruit tree. We use this butter purely for it's luxurious feel and absorbency. It seems to help carry the other oils deep into the skin. You'll only find this is the quality stuff and rarely a primary ingredient. Kukui Nut Oil: (Aleurites moluccana) Kukui nut oil, brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers, is quickly absorbed into the skin. Kukui nut oil is high in linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids. Excellent for skin conditioning after sun exposure, as well as for acne, eczema, psoriasis, hemorrhoids, dry/wrinkled skin and offers good protection for outdoor sports. It offers just the right amount of lubrication without leaving a greasy feeling. Excellent for chapped skin and may prevent scarring. It is very expensive, but makes our moisturizer extra special. We use the good stuff too from Hawaii (at about $140 gallon, it has to kept under lock and key). To show you how far we go to find the best products, here is an example. This Kukui Nut oil is also available from other countries at about half the price, but it is solvent extracted (if at all possible, we don't use solvent extracted ingredients, just expeller pressed products, except some of the essences are only available that way). Instead of a light sweet smell, like the good stuff from Hawaii, it has a heavy chemical odor. We won't touch it. Macadamia Nut Oil: (Macadamia integrifolia) This tree is native to Australia. Also known as Queensland nut oil, this cold pressed oil is high in palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that acts as an antioxidant, preventing deterioration of cell membranes. For mature skin it is hydrating and gentle. It is a skin lubricant and is easily absorbed by the skin, sometimes described as a "vanishing oil." Helpful in cases of sunburn and wound healing. Shea Butter; (Butyrospermum parkii) World renown for many incredible healing properties, but not commonly used here in the USA. The Shea tree grows in the wooded savannahs in west Africa (Ghana, Mali and Burkina Faso). The fruit is harvested by the natives and hand processed to the finished butter product. This is how we buy it. Often times though you'll find it as a minor ingredient in some supposedly high quality moisturizers. We use a special natural variety. Most Shea Butter used here in the USA is commercially processed to remove the natural color and odor, or industrially extracted with hexane solvent (a carcinogen). Traces of hexane can be in the resulting Shea Butter. Hexane extraction yields more butter, but it is odorless and white and quite frankly about as good mineral oil. Which as far as we are concerned, is no good! You can also feel good about using this ingredient, because income from Shea helps poor women in West Africa who hand make it in a complicated process involving boiling in water. Hemp Seed Oil: (Cannabis sativa) This is one of the more effective skin-care oils with a wonderful nutty smell. Hemp seed oil is derived from the seed of the plant Cannabis sativa, best known as the marijuana plant, and least known for its many productive uses. It is dark and thick and gives our product it's slightly green cast. Hemp seed oil has none of the intoxicating properties of the leaves. Since hemp cannot be legally grown in the U.S., the supply of its oil is low and the price high. Hemp seeds produce a vegetable oil that is high in protein and can be used within a variety of foods and cosmetics. Alpha linolenic, linoleic and oleic acids–the essential fatty acids known as the omegas–make up 88% of the total fatty-acid content. Its moisturizing properties when used in proper strengths are absolutely magical. Apricot Kernal Oil: (Armeniaca vulgaris, Prunis armeniaca) Apricot Kernel is a light but rich oil which is especially good for sensitive skin, as well as for and skin that is inflamed or dry. It can be used alone or in massage and is used quite often in lip balms and creams. It is particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature or sensitive skin. It has a high vitamin A content. Aren't there other Natural moisturizers on the market? Like
in health food stores? What are the other ingredients and why do we use them? Reverse Osmosis Purified Water, goes without saying, R/O
water is the gold standard in purifying water. Few cosmetic companies do this. We make this product fresh on an as needed basis. We don't make 100's of thousands of jars ahead of time, and then store it for years at a time as most moisturizers are made to save money. I like to say there is a bit of the art in making this product. It can only be made in small batches of 200 Jars or bottles. It is hand made and mixed with care by our master moisturizer maker. Each ingredient must be added in a certain order and with the proper temperature in mind. That's why our competition hasn't figured it out yet. (They all use thickeners which aren't true moisturizers.) Put this together wrong, even using all the right ingredients and it will be a useless glop. We are so picky that about 1 out of 5 batches has to be destroyed, because they just don't meet our standards. Does it feel greasy? No it is luxurious and creamy. We use absorbing oils and butters. Not mineral oil. Here's a recent note: I was completely knocked off my feet by the moisturizer! After countless over-the-counter moisturizers and creams, I can honestly say this is the best thing that has ever touched my face! It absorbs SO damn quickly and makes me look g-r-e-a-t!" HI STEVE!!! I received your package in the mail today with my soap and NEW MOISTURIZER, I just had to write you, I JUST finished doing my usual face wash before bed, and I tried your moisturizer for the first time... IT'S FABULOUS!!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! I cant stop touching my face, it's like SATIN!!! Wendy How can a $150.00 moisturizer sell for 20 bucks? Why are most moisturizers on the market
just junk? Even some of the
expensive ones are not all that good. They are mostly mineral oils with animal
based binders. But they smell nice(?) and the jars look nice on the counter. HERE'S HOW IT TYPICALLY WORKS. A mediocre product that costs say $6.00 to make including the jar (sorry, you can be sure the jar cost more than the contents, this is just a FACT with almost all moisturizers, except ours). It goes to a distributor who marks it up to say $12.00 then to a stylish store (hey, we don't blame them, they got to make a profit) that sets the selling price to say $31.95, then might offer it 'On Sale' for say $24.95. When it's all said and done, it's still just a mediocre product with mineral oil. mineral oil, what is it? Fresh Squeezed Minerals?!?! It's a petroleum product. Yes it's a by-product when they make gasoline. Real Greasy, Stays on top of your skin. Only reason it is used is that it seals the skin and holds in the moisture. So yes it does sort of work. After you take a bath, you slather it on and it seals the skin to hold in the moisture you got from the bath. That is until you get in bed and it is all rubbed off on your sheets. That's why you need to put more on in the morning and change your sheets often. No Phthalates! What the heck are Phthalates? Phthalates were originally invented for the plastics industry, to keep plastics soft and flexible. But they also discovered that they were great to keep fragrances and other ingredients 'fresh' for years. Maybe decades. This is an important consideration when you are making products by the millions at one time. You see moisturizers today are made in huge factories. Only a handful make all the moisturizers in the world. All of the big names companies that sell moisturizers go to these factories and have them bid on their new moisturizer. Or when inventories get low to make another few million jars. You see it's much cheaper to make a bunch of a products at once. Then they can sit in warehouses and store shelves for years until they are all sold. But there is a problem. How do you keep a delicate product like a moisturizer for years? This is when they decided to start using Phthalates. Hey if it can keep plastics soft and flexible for years why wouldn't it work for skin products. Problem is this stuff is this stuff gets absorbed into the skin and into your body. No one really knows what the level of toxicity is on this stuff. The government that is supposed to protect us, doesn't even require the manufacturer to even mention this ingredient on the label. Hi, Dear clearandsmooth, Thanks! And yues that is the correct address. we look very much forward to receiving this item. My husband is on list for liver transplant and his skin is so dry and itchy ! It is the only thing that has helped!! Thanks again! Goldie
Why do they use Mineral oil? It's cheap! A few dollars for a gallon of MINERAL OIL. As a comparison to our Kukui Nut oil. We use the good stuff from Hawaii. And we pay over $140 for a gallon. Why do WE use exotic oils and butters? The real question everyone should be asking is: Why are they not used more often? They have absolutely wonderful properties and the longer you use them the better your skin feels. But they are harder to work with on a larger scale. And they do vary in consistency. So more supervision is needed. It's easy to have a minimum wage worker just pour in a bucket of mineral oil. Cook it with waxes and binders. Load up on a bunch of commercial artificial preservatives so it can sit on a shelf for 3 or 4 years until someone comes along and likes the pretty jar well enough to buy it 'On Sale'. I love your moisturizer. It’s made a bigger difference for my skin. I used to have dry skin and that would cause break outs, and tried many kinds of moisturizers. The others made my skin breakout, and more oily. Yours doesn’t and in fact I use it up 3 times daily to keep my face hydrated and it doesn’t break out or look oily – instead it glows. 8/17/02 Healing properties? We have to be careful here. We can't make you any promises. Rashes? Got to try this!, Broken skin? Got to try this! Cracked skin? Got to try this! Eczema? Got to try this! Dermatitis? Got to try this! Wrinkles? Got to try this!
ABSOLUTELY NO ANIMAL TESTING and NO ANIMAL DERIVED INGREDIENTS.
