Mineral oil or liquid petrolatum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes (typically 15 to 40 carbons) and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum.

Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value, and it is produced in very large quantities.

Mineral oil is available in light and heavy grades, and can often be found in drug stores.
