White Mineral Oil
White mineral oil is a clear liquid carrier that can also be found in a wide variety of cosmetics, personal care and household products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. Without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface. White Mineral Oil can also be used as a cleaning agent that removes dust, dirt and soils, or as a stabilizer that helps maintain a product formula when exposed to air, light or heat.
