Bioderma Atoderm Lips Moisturising Stick x3

Product Information

Bioderma Atoderm Lip Balm glides smoothly on the lips. It feels a little waxy and takes a couple of minutes to fully sink in, but it’s nothing like those extra greasy lip balms that sit on your lips for hours on end. Phew!

Smooth and creamy. Unlike most wax-based lip balms, Bioderma Atoderm Lip Balm doesn’t feel too waxy on the lips. It doesn’t just sit on top of your lips, either. Fragrance 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.

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: 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. Yes. And my lips dig it. Mineral oil is one of the most moisturising things on this planet. It creates a barrier on the lips that protects them from harsh weather, germs and bacteria, and anything else that tries to harm them. The only good thing we can write about Ascorbyl Palmitate is that there is an in-vitro (made in the lab, not on real people) study showing that it might be able to boost collagen production.Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil, Synthetic Wax, Cera Microcristallina, Paraffin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cera Alba/Beeswaz, BHT, Citric Acid, Fragrance (Parfum) [BI577] About Gio 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." 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. 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.
