Scout's take
Highly refined petroleum oil. Inert and effective occlusive but petroleum-derived. Pharmaceutical-grade purification is required to avoid PAH contamination.
More from Scout's analyses
Petroleum-derived oil used as a coating agent. Linked to gastrointestinal disruption; food-grade but originates from the same refining process as motor oil.
