What is baby oil?

Baby oil is a skincare product typically made of mineral oil, which may be considered a suitable option for delicate and sensitive skin. It is commonly used to help moisturise and protect sensitive skin and is a popular choice for baby massages. Adults, too, may use baby oil for its potential hydrating and soothing properties, making it a common addition to skincare routines.

What is baby oil made of?

Baby oils are typically made of a mineral oil base that’s purified for use on the skin. Some formulations may include natural plant-based oils, such as almond oil or sunflower seed oil, along with added vitamin E, which may hydrate and nourish the skin. 

What is the best way to use baby oil? 

Baby oil may be used in several ways:

  • For baby massage: Warm a few drops of baby oil in your hands and gently massage your baby’s skin, avoiding the face and areas prone to irritation.

  • For adult skincare: Adults commonly use baby oil as a potential moisturiser, makeup remover, or even as a shaving aid. Baby oil’s potential hydrating properties may suit dry or sensitive skin but check in with your healthcare professional to confirm.

  • Post-bath hydration: Baby oil may also be applied to damp skin after a bath or shower to help leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Is baby oil safe to use every day?

Many people use baby oil daily as part of their skincare routine, as it may be gentle and non-irritating for frequent use. However, individuals with sensitive skin or specific skin conditions should consult their healthcare professional to ensure it’s the right product for their needs.
