Can I use this oil on my face?

"MEDICAL FORT" Vaseliiniõli 100 ml

The product description specifies it is suitable for body massage or dry skin areas on the body, such as elbows, knees, and hands. Mineral oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) is non-comedogenic and widely used in facial cosmetics, cleansers, and moisturizers due to its inert nature and excellent occlusive properties.

Whether you can use it on your face depends largely on your individual skin type and concerns. For some, especially those with very dry or non-acne-prone skin, a small amount can be an effective occlusive to seal in serums or moisturizers, particularly in harsh weather. However, for others, especially those with oily or acne-prone skin, applying a pure occlusive oil may feel too heavy or contribute to clogged pores. Since it is fragrance-free, it reduces the risk of irritation from perfumes. The best approach is to patch test a small amount on a discreet area of your face (like the jawline) for several days to see how your skin reacts. It's always sensible to introduce any new product gradually into your facial routine.
