Synthetic oils include mineral oil and petrolatum, which are derived from the distillation of petroleum in the production of gasoline. Vegetable oils are pressed out of seeds, and essential oils are steamed from several plant parts, including stems, leaves, and roots. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) categorizes vegetable oils in the larger class of edible oils. Edible oils, such as peanut oil, are refined in a process that removes proteins that can cause sensitization in allergic individuals.1 Manufacturers of animal-derived oils, such as lanolin, have to follow strictly certified processes in order to eliminate any risk of infectious agents.
