Why are products with petroleum
and menthol hazardous?

You might say, Hey, petroleum is a natural product. It's straight from the earth. What is so bad about that?

The problem with petroleum jelly is not the medium itself; it is the byproducts that contaminate the substance during manufacturing which are dangerous.

Petroleum jelly is only as good as its refining process. Byproducts produced from refining are PAHs, or polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons, and 1,4 dioxane. These impurities are known carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), which have been studied around the world for work related exposures. If the manufacturer is not careful, the refining process may not have removed all these impurities. Independent test labs have found these carcinogens present in commercial health products like baby shampoos, lipsticks and lotions. The manufacturing process has not been able to remove all these impurities.

One study conducted on the effects of menthol found that it increased mucous formation in the air passages. Infant nasal passages may be too small to handle this increased mucous production and therefore pose a health risk to the infant.
