White mineral oil

White mineral oil is the highly refined mineral oil, and is composed of saturated aliphatic and alicyclic nonpolar hydrocarbons. White mineral oil is biologically and chemically stable, and doesn’t support pathogenic bacterial growth. White mineral oil can resist moisture, extend, soften, smoothen, and lubricate[1].
