Location: Washington state Registered: 12 October 2006 Posts: 6 | Hello......just read this post. Is there any other commonly used ingredients (in product formulation) that block the uptake of oxygen to the skin besides mineral oil? Thanks for your time, iluvsun |

Location: Skin Biology Registered: 15 September 2004 Posts: 7065 | Not really since there are so many. What I try to do is use ingredients similar to what is in the skin. In the past, we worked on the effects of various ingredients on skin rejuvenation. This is the basis of our skin cream ingredients.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Skin Biology, |
