I believe that they are good for your skin if applied topically. First, though,I want to explain a few things and also, I should mention that I'm in the process of researching the chemical and molecular efficacy aspects of why I believe so. It is an absolute farce that every oil is impermeable by the skin. Cocoa butter, Shea butter are two examples off the top of my head that are plant based fats/oils and are in a wide variety of topical skin care products (as well as foods) that can and are absorbed through the skin, mostly because they are comprised of relatively smaller fat molecules than say, olive oil. Olive oil is an oil that can NOT be absorbed by the skin. Why? Because molecularly, it is far too large of a molecule to be absorbed by skin. Olive oil products, when applied, may seem to moisturize, but that is because the oil just sits there in a thin sheen upon the epidermis. My interest in this topic began when am extremely well reputed cosmetic surgeon shared a story with me about his female patients requesting pricey prescription topical lotions for anti aging effects. He said "I tell them all that if you truly want a wonderful moisturizer, use crisco, but they never want to hear that,". Throughout the years, i've used it all and I can honestly tell you that I've got shortening on my face as I write this and have beem very pleased with it's resulta. I suspect that this is because the hydrogenation porcess makes the fatty molecules small enough to be permeable by the skin, and that's what I was in the process of checking out when I stubled across this, so I'd probably be more likely to buy a product if it contained these fats. If it has olive oil in it, however, i throw it in the trash.

Hi,
As the cosmetic companies still using the hydrogenenated oil in skin care products its better to use natural skin care products so as to keep our skin clean and fresh. While searching about the natural skin care products I got to know about the comvita products. These have natural ingredients such as the olive leaf extract,royal jelly, etc. These olive leaves and jelly have wide range of benefits so suitable for the whole family.

Sure it can. Otherwise you wouldn't have to re-apply. I put cream on my arms each day, but i don't need to shower each day. Still need the cream. Used to use Jergens Soothing Aloe until i read the label. Your body is a kidney on the Universe and removes all kinds of toxins from it. Very short sighted to think your bodys not absorbing oils through your skin. What would be the purpose of puting Vitamin E oil on a scar if the oil wasn't absorbed?

Using facial skin care products that contain hydrogenated oils will easily congest the skin even when used for a short period of time.
Think of using margarine on your skin and you will have the picture - this stuff clogs pores and packs into skin - the results of using it vary from breaking out, drying out and skin losing its natural glow and clear look.
Hydrogenated oils are just one of the many highly congesting substances that are typically used in just about every expensive and budget priced skin care range.
The oils are hydrogenated to begin with because they last better and also because they are used to thicken products.
There are many types of hydrogenated oils, for example most of what is called coconut oil in skin care products is usually the awful stuff that is hydrogenated coconut oil. This is definitely used as a filler in many, many skin care products.
Then there's olive oil in skin care, that's mostly the tampered with version - it's called unsaponifiable, or olive butter etc.

Trans fat are not bad for you if you eat it, it’s the amount you eat. Also not all hydrogenated oils for cosmetics are trans fat. Non GMO Sunflower Oil
Hydrogenated* Vegetable Oil (*No trans isomers = Free of trans fats).
Google is a bad way to educate yourself with. A all natural companies will do its best to discredit just as much as the pharmaceutical companies.
