Goddess C.A.T. does not advocate the use of mineral oil, petroleum or petrolatum in our products based on our beliefs and facts about the toxicity of mineral oil/petroleum to your skin and overall health.
Mineral Oil is believed to suffocate the skin, your largest organ (especially for elimination of toxins) by coating it with an impenetrable film that doesn't allow for toxins to escape the body.
Mineral oil also depletes your body of Vitamins A, C, E & K, so it's ludicrous for cosmetic companies to add herbs, minerals and vitamins along with mineral oil because the oil will actually rob your body of all good vitamins and minerals.
Moreover, mineral oil is incredibly cheap, which explains why so many companies use it, to your detriment.
And what happens?
Basically, they hope you'll keep rubbing that lotion or lip balm to moisturize your skin, but really it drying out your skin, making it less healthy and forcing you to use more product--which means more money for them.
As previously stated, we constantly work to provide holistic cosmetics, even though the technology just doesn't exist to make a complete transition possible, we make changes wherever we can, especially with mineral oil issue, since it's one of the most dangerous.
We're always making our products better because we only want to provide our customers with a product we feel so good about, we use it ourselves!
Please check out the naturally beneficial ingredients we add to our lipsticks, lip balms and facial crèmes that keep YOU beautiful and healthy.
This ongoing debate makes some people still attest that mineral oil does not cause any problems and simply received a "bad reputation," but then again most of testaments come from the PR of these major companies.
That is why we have compiled the following information for your convenience, but the choice is yours.
We made our choice and hope you enjoy our products even more because of it.
Thank you and Enjoy!

Rachel D: Yes, if you follow link at the bottom, you will find other reference links about mineral oil.
It's so hard to get people to understand that the cheap skin care products they are using are contributing to breakouts and dryness, and don't get me started on chapsticks!
Thank you for posting this information.
