Yet more and more people are taking a critical look at this substance. What exactly is paraffin\u2014and why doesn\u2019t it fit in with true natural cosmetics?<\/p><p class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\">At Exmonte, the answer is clear: Our products are 100% natural\u2014free of paraffins, mineral oils, and synthetic additives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d53653 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2d53653\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d16d90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2d16d90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Paraffin?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2fc31a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2fc31a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\">Paraffin is a liquid mineral oil derived from crude oil. It is colorless and odorless, and extremely inexpensive to produce. That is why it is commonly found in:<\/p><ul><li>Skin creams and lotions<\/li><li>ointments<\/li><li>Lip care<\/li><li>Massage products<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\">Paraffin is used in cosmetics because it forms a film over the skin and temporarily makes it feel smooth\u2014without actually nourishing the skin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-729401b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"729401b\" data-element_type=\"container\"

there are good reasons to avoid paraffin:<\/p><ul><li>No active care: Mineral oils do not provide vitamins, trace elements, or essential fatty acids<\/li><li>Occlusive effect: The skin is sealed, which may impair its natural functions<\/li><li>Habituation effect: The skin produces fewer of its own lipids\u2014which can lead to dryness<\/li><li>Not sustainable: petroleum-based,
