  Baby oil which is "mineral oil is a petroleum ingredient. It comes from crude oil and and is used as a metal cutting fluid. It coats the skin like plastic wrap. When applied, mineral oil can promote acne and other skin disorders. Mineral oil also slows down normal cell development and causes the skin to prematurely age. The most significant hazard is that mineral oil blocks the pores of the skin. This does not allow the skin to breathe and prevents the natural release of toxins from the skin. Since the skin is the body's largest elimination organ, this is a serious health hazard,".

  suggestion: mix all the liquid ingredients together before adding them to the jar. then you won't need to stir it. also, try using a combination of oils instread of "baby oil" which is mineral oil. Try almond oil, olive oil, castor, just to name a few. They are all good to your skin....and not petroleum.

  This is a quick & easy sugar scrub to make. Great to make w/kids. I know this isn't exactly all natural since baby oil is a petroleum product but it does smell & feel nice. Tried it today & it's great. Tho it does make your shower a bit slippery at the end.
