What are cheap filler ingredients to avoid in cuticle oil

Mineral Oil / Paraffinum Liquidum: Derived from crude oil, this is a very common, inexpensive emollient. While generally safe, it acts as a barrier that traps moisture but does not hydrate or nourish the nail. It is often used to add bulk to lower-quality oils.Petrolatum / Paraffin Wax / Liquid Paraffin: Similar to mineral oil, these are petroleum-derived, cheap occlusives that can be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).Soybean Oil: A very cheap filler oil that adds bulk but provides minimal benefits to the skin or nails.Canola Oil: Inexpensive and bland; it is used for volume but rarely adds beneficial nutrients. Corn Oil: Adds shine but is not nutrient-dense for skin or nail health. Unstable Oils (Grapeseed, Sunflower, Apricot): While they can be moisturizing, these oils are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). They are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can go rancid quickly, which may lead to inflammation rather than nourishment. Alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol/Ethanol): Used for fast drying, but it strips natural oils and leads to dryness and brittleness.
