If peanut oil is used as an ingredient in lotions and creams etc, how would it be listed in the ingredients?

I know that there is some debate about peanut derivatives used in lotions causing the increase in eczema in children, especially since parents are advised to avoid feeding peanuts to young children. Its obviously not listed as peanut oil, so what should I look out for?

Well, Its major component (fatty acids) are palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. The oil also contains some 6鈥?% (total) of arachidic acid, arachidonic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid and other fatty acids.





Don't know if thats the right answer but hope it helps :-)If peanut oil is used as an ingredient in lotions and creams etc, how would it be listed in the ingredients?
peanut oil is arachis oil
Dah! - try saying 'this product contains peanut oil'
