Undercover Mineral Oil

There are quite a number of individuals that prefer to stay away from products that contain high levels of petroleum, mineral oil, and silicones.

So later those individual try a product and the results are unexplainable and undesirable...what happened?

What if one of those ingredients that you have been avoiding is hidden with a product but listed under another name. Knowing all the names associated with an ingredient that you are using can be beneficial to your regimen and product choices.
