Is Mineral Oil Really All That Bad?
BlackHairInformation.com: Written On Nov 29th, 2010 | By Alma
Does mineral oil really deserve it’s ‘evil to black hair’ image?

Mineral oil or liquid petroleum is a liquid by-product of the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline and other petroleum based products. It has a multitude of uses from cosmetics to lubricating machines in the food industry.
