AB Oil  is  a  substance  that  is  liquid  at  room  temperature  and  insoluble  in  water.  Synthetic  oils  include  mineral  oil  and  petrolatum,  which  are  derived  from  the  distillation  of  petroleum  in  the  production  of  gasoline.  Vegetable  oils  are  pressed  out  of  seeds,  and  essential  oils  are  steamed  from  several  plant  parts,  including  stems,  leaves,  and  roots.  The  Cosmetic  Ingredient  Review  (CIR)  categorizes  vegetable  oils  in  the  larger  class  of  edible  oils.  Edible  oils,  such  as  peanut  oil,  are  refined  in  a  process  that  removes  proteins  that  can  cause  sensitization  in  allergic  individuals.1  Manufacturers  of  animal-derived  oils,  such  as  lanolin,  have  to  follow  strictly  certified  processes  in  order  to  eliminate  any  risk  of  infectious  agents.
