rileygirl,

I, too, suspect that shea butter is better absorbed.

Agreed - but if you want something to actually lock moisture in the skin, Vaseline is good to apply over another moisturiser.

Personally, I think the whole mineral oil/cancer thing belongs in the "Everything Gives you Cancer" file. The mineral oil that is used in toiletries has been refined and bares no resemblance to its original state.

Read this from the Beauty Brains:

LOL. I agree on the "everything gives you cancer". One minute something gives you cancer, and then some time later it is good for you again.

How about the comment on the Beautybrains that: It is also 100% natural taken directly out of our dear Mother Earth.


So is poison oak. LOL! Well, I've already dealt with cancer in my family. Mom and husband. I might be a wee bit hyper active when it comes to, "don't really need to risk it" when I can find a substitute that, so far, anyway doesn't seemingly cause cancer.

It seems I read vaseline wasn't even a beauty product until Marilyn Monroe scooped some off of some camera equip, and used it as lip gloss to keep the glossy look the women were going for, but could get without licking their lips nonstop for a photoshoot.

I wonder if that's true!
