What is Baby Oil?
Baby oil is a mineral oil-based product that is used to moisturize and protect the skin of babies.
It is typically made from a combination of mineral oil, fragrance, and emollients. Mineral oil is a safe and effective ingredient for use on baby's skin, as it is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.
Emollients are ingredients that help to soften and smooth the skin.
Fragrance is added to baby oil to make it more appealing to parents and babies.
Baby oil can be used to moisturize the skin of babies of all ages. It is gentle enough for use on newborns and can help to prevent dry skin, chafing, and diaper rash.
