Natural Skincare vs Crude Oil Products

Natural Skincare vs Crude Oil Products

You can find crude oil-based skincare products like Vaseline and Aquaphor in pretty much every checkout line at the grocery store. But are crude oil-based moisturizers really deserving of all the hype? 

Crude oil-based skincare derive their primary ingredients from petroleum, which is also used to fill up your car. While crude oil-based products may offer a quick skin barrier on the surface, they raise concerns about long-term effects on health and sustainability. One health concern is petroleum is classified as a xenoestrogen which binds with estrogen and causes hormone imbalances in women.

Tallow is suitable for all skin types and works in conjunction with your sebum to regulate oil products and calm inflammation.
