Mink Oil contains 14-18% Palmitoleic Acid: C-16 unsaturated found in no other commonly used cosmetic ingredient. It is the closest to human sebum. Best tolerated and most beneficial for the skin.<\/p>\n

Mink Oil contains 70% to 80% Unsaturated Fats: It tends to rub directly into the skin, where it penetrates deeply, leaving a velvety rich texture. However, leaving a non greasy nor sticky felling behind. For these reasons, one can say Mink Oil is completely different to almost all other natural oils used in cosmetics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
