baby oil in m&p?

[MikeG]

This might be a silly question but I figure it can't hurt to ask. Usually I add a little olive oil that I infused with this or that, but have been wondering if baby oil would work in soap? I'm not even sure if plants can be infused in it, but I have been thinking of making a recipe for a soap special for my little boy. First thing that came to mind was baby oil and Jewelweed

My thought about the baby oils is that its actually mineral oil. I don't know how nicely it would play with soap, but I personally wouldn't want to add it anyway because its not something I would want in my handmade soaps.

Yes, that's true about mineral oil as hmlove1218 wrote.
Why not infuse jewelweed with some olive oil?

Thank you both for the replies, I guess I will skip trying it. Lisamaliga, I usually do use Jewelweed and/or Loosestrife infused with olive oil, or other plants depending on what the soap is for. I just figured baby oil has so many uses it would work great in soap... I guess not lol

I have put some in my melt and pour and it worked out well
