what is baby oil made out of

Baby oil is a clear, moisturizing liquid that is meant to soothe and smooth delicate baby skin, typically after a bath. It is made from mineral oil, a highly purified petroleum-based product that is odorless, tasteless, and dermatologically tested and approved. Baby oil is further refined until it is safe for skin care and other beauty uses, and it is often used on babies for the purpose of maintaining "baby-soft" skin. The ingredients in most commercial baby oil products are 98% mineral oil and 2% fragrance. Baby oil is safe to use as directed for babies, children, and adults, and it is clinically proven to be safe for use on babies.
