A member asked:

Is baby oil a danger to your eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Not harmful to eyes but shouldn't be used as an eyedrop or lubricant. I am guessing that you splashed some in your eye or your babies eye. It will rapidly clean itself out and do not harm.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
