About this deal

The moisturiser is a bit pricy. I bought mine at Sasa Mall for Ksh 1500, although you can get it on Jumia for nearly the same price range. Another super common myth surrounding mineral oil is that it is comedogenic. A 2005 study titled"Is mineral oil comedogenic?" examined this very question and guess what happened? The study concluded that" based on the animal and human data reported, along with the AAD recommendation, it would appear reasonable to conclude that mineral oil is noncomedogenic in humans." I chose the Jergens Shea Butter Deep conditioning Moisturiser, which comes in a 621 ml/21Fl OZ bottle. What I liked The famous or maybe rather infamous mineral oil. The clear oily liquid that is the "cheap by-product" of refining crude oil and the one that gets a lot of heat for its poor provenance. It is a very controversial ingredient with pros and cons and plenty of mythsaround it. So let us see them:

It is a great emollient and moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity.Occlusivity is one of the basic mechanisms of how moisturizers work and it means that mineral oilsits on top of the skin and hinders so-called trans-epidermal water loss, i.e water evaporating out of your skin. When compared to heavy-duty plant oil, extra virgin coconut oil, the two of them were equally efficient and safe as moisturizers in treating xerosis, a skin condition connected to very dry skin. Whenever you press down on the actuator and rotate the seal to close the pump, the lotion tends to come out since some of it remains in the pump. For this reason, it’s good to close the pump before you finish applying the moisturizer and use the dispensed product on areas you need to. Nonetheless, this is not a very significant factor because the lotion has a rich texture, which prevents it from oxidizing. While it is true that industrial grade mineral oil contains carcinogenic components (so-calledpolycyclic compounds), these are completely removed from cosmetic and food grade mineral oil and there is no scientific data showing that the pure, cosmetic grade version is carcinogenic.The Jergens Shea butter moisturizer is readily available on local stores and online platforms such as Jumia. The pros of mineral oilcan be interpreted as cons if we look at them from another perspective. Not penetrating the skin but mostly just sitting on top of it and not containing biologically active components, like nice fatty acids and vitamins meanthat mineral oil does not "nourish" the skin in the way plant oils do. Mineral oil doesnot give the skin any extra goodness, it is simply a non-irritating moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity. On average the Jergens Shea Butter Moisturiser lasts 9-10 hours on the skin. Reapplication is not needed, and with fair use, the 621ml bottle can last you more than six months. What I disliked Nonetheless, if you have oily skin, Jergens Shea Butter Moisturiser is a good alternative for topical treatment. These body washes are also good for oily skin Ingredients

I had a huge awakening when I discovered the Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturiser. Before I bought this lotion, I had been using The Nivea Nourishing Body Milk with Almond Oil. It was really moisturising and aside from the fact that it was more suitable for someone with dry skin, I would’ve kept using it. Thus, to maximize its hydralucence benefits I apply my Jergens on wet skin. The result is a smooth, hydrated, moisturised and silky looking skin that smells like a blend of Africa’s finest Shea Butter. By the way, Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope from scandal) attributes skin-plumping products as the secret to her beautiful glowing skin. Deep conditioning effect Badmouthing mineral oil is a favorite sport of many, it is a cheap material and being connected to petrolatum makes it fairly easy to demonize. The moisturizer has a pleasant, vanilla-like mild scent which lingers on the skin without leaving a heavy scent. Thus, it can be used by someone allergic to strong fragrances or one who doesn’t like accentuated scents. TextureTrust us, if something is used for more than 100 years in cosmeticproducts, it hasadvantages. Chemically speaking, cosmetic grade mineral oil is a complex mixture ofhighly refined saturated hydrocarbons with C15-50 chain length.It is not merely a "by-product" but rather a specifically isolated part of petroleum that is very pure and inert.

Relieves dryness, replenishes moisture, and improves skin‘s moisture barrier for beautiful, radiant skin.
