Explained

Mink Oil comes from the fat of mink pelts. It is rich in palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid derived from palmitic acid.

Palmitoleic acid has been shown to help soothe inflammation and promote wound healing. It is naturally found in the fat of our skin.

Milk oil, like other oils, is an emollient and prevents moisture loss by creating a barrier on the skin.

Macadamia oil and seabuckthorn oil are alternative oils with similar high palmitoleic acid content.

Mink Oil is a rare cosmetic ingredient, with about 0.0% of the products in our database containing it.
