The stuff in the store generally has Vitamin E in there as a stabilizer, and sometimes fragrance if marketed as baby lotion. Get the stuff for use as a laxative and it *should* be okay. I had to buy tens of gallons of this stuff from the local pharmacies because the local national laboratory saw mineral oil as a hazard when it came in 5 gallon carbouys. It's toxic, flammable, and causes skin irritation unless it's sold as baby lotion or laxative! Always take the MSDS sheets with a grain of salt.
