Dry Winter Skin Care and Canola Oil in Moisturizer - PaleoHacks.com most recent 30 from http://paleohacks.com 2013-05-19T20:43:20Z http://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/68780 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://paleohacks.com/questions/68780/dry-winter-skin-care-and-canola-oil-in-moisturizer Dry Winter Skin Care and Canola Oil in Moisturizer Alexandra 2011-10-05T20:22:13Z 2012-03-02T17:44:24Z <p>I use jojoba, coconut oil and squalene topically (jojoba &amp; squalene on face and body, coconut on body because makes my face red) -- but wanted extra help for the dry cold winter NYC air which always dries my skin out. I just received a 10% vitman e moisturizer from the same company I buy my vitamin e from (I open the capsules and apply to face sometimes but too oily for daytime use). I unfortunately did not read the ingredients carefully before purchasing because I saw macadamia nut oil and jojoba but missed canola oil. I would never eat canola oil in a million years and realize the skin absorbs oils -- so any thoughts on how bad it would be to use a moisturizer with canola oil as one of many ingredients?? There is 10% vitamin E in it to help prevent oxidation plus I will mix in my own ascorbic acid as well. Thoughts on how evil canola oil would be in a moisturizer?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/68780/dry-winter-skin-care-and-canola-oil-in-moisturizer/68781#68781 Answer by cliff for Dry Winter Skin Care and Canola Oil in Moisturizer cliff 2011-10-05T20:25:13Z 2011-10-05T20:25:13Z <p>The amount of canola oil you would absorb through your skin would be trivial. Nothing wrong with it imo.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/68780/dry-winter-skin-care-and-canola-oil-in-moisturizer/68789#68789 Answer by Rogue Nutritionist for Dry Winter Skin Care and Canola Oil in Moisturizer Rogue Nutritionist 2011-10-05T21:48:27Z 2011-10-05T21:48:27Z <p>I just think it would go rancid, and then you're absorbing rancid oils...I wouldn't use it, but I am extremely sensitive. You could mix in some shea butter with your other oils for extra protection, and add vitamin e yourself...</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/68780/dry-winter-skin-care-and-canola-oil-in-moisturizer/102088#102088 Answer by david sky for Dry Winter Skin Care and Canola Oil in Moisturizer david sky 2012-03-02T17:44:24Z 2012-03-02T17:44:24Z <p>Rancid? Canola oil is used in cooking because it is resistant to high heat. How do you figure?</p>
