Lab Equipment - Mineral/Paraffin Oil

Mineral oil or Paraffin oil is a useful oil for making oil baths and storing reactive metals. It is composed of high boiling inert hydrocarbons distilled from commercial crude oil. Amateur chemists can use baby oil since baby oil is mostly composed of highly purified paraffin oil. It's best to use oil that is unscented and hypoallergenic as that oil is purest and has no reactive additives.
