A member asked:

Can massage oil do the same job as baby oil?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Massage and baby oil: Not really. Baby oil is petrolatum based and should be free of scents and colors. Massage oils should be vegetable based and are often perfumed with relaxing scents, and cost colors. Baby oil could be used as a lubricant but will not give the best result due to pore clogging and heat retention. Of course, we do not recommend baby oil, for, babies anymore.
