Even though the products made with this oil have a good feel on the skin, they are devoid of any concrete effects owing to their hydrocarbon composition.

Some products are available containing vegetable oils and are obtained through the conventional method of agriculture. The drawback of using vegetable oils is that they are different from organic oils, since they may be contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals apart from other environmental pollutants, It is therefore important for personal care and cosmetic industries to develop products that contain 1-00% natural ingredients and that can be used on a daily basis by human beings of all age groups.
