Darbla Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Does plain mineral oil have a scent? I'm thinking if getting some, adding FO scent of choice, and using it for after-shower moisturizing. After all, that's what baby oil is. Pros? Cons? Do any of you do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Also, people on The Long Hair Community have raved about how great it is for sealing more moisture in dry hair. Just 2-4 drops (depends on how long your hair is) on ends when wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 plain mineral oil has no scent. it's actually marvelous stuff, despite that some don't like it. it will leave you very greasy, though, so you might try cutting it with something lighter like isopropyl myristate or fractionated coconut oil.for hair i know some like it - but I still prefer coconut oil as it washes out more easily.

Darbla Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Can any of you recommend a lightweight oil for after shower moisturizing? Mineral oil is just too greasy, as CareBear mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OldGlory Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I was looking for a lightweight moisturizing oil at Kroger today and found Rainbath - sesame oil with isopropyl myristate in it. I think it is lightly scented.Apricot Kernel oil is very light weight, but I think any straight oil you use will feel like mineral oil.I think a light lotion might be more of what you are looking for.
