I would check with a nurse at your doctor’s office. They typically have the “in” on medical-grade cosmetics or skin care. Items that are designed for people with special conditions. I know I have reviewed some medical grade lotions on Bionic Beauty, but most still have an oil base of some sort (whether it’s Vit E, jojoba- which is a wax as Robyn mentions above).

Find out if you can use waxes that are emulsified. If so, we can look at ingredients with beeswax, jojoba, etc. Those will mirror your bodies natural sebum/oil.

Take care and I hope to see you around Bionic Beauty in the future.
Best,

Robyn, You are so amazing for sharing all this wonderful information! I use Jojoba on my skin and it really is seeming to help. My skin seems to like it much better than the packaged “mass-production” lotions.

Cheers,
BB

Not all oils in products are bad. If you have oily skin and dry it out too much, you’re only going to trick your body into producing MORE oil. If you see an ingredient such as jojoba oil (which believe it or not, technically isn’t even an oil; it’s a wax), it’s benefical to those with oily skin. It’s immediately absorbed into your skin, but more importantly, it mimics the sebum your skin naturally produces (excess sebum production is what is the most common cause of acne) so that you don’t produce even more.

You may read ingredients and not think that they’re oils when many times they actually are. Vitamin E in cosmetics will be oily. CoQ10 is usually emulsified in oil. Those are just a couple off the top of my head.

Hope this helps. If not, maybe it’s useless drivel you can use at parties

And? Remember, mineral powder loose powder makeup has very little oil in it, if you are oil, like me.
