your thoughts on baby oil or vaseline as a moisturizer?

What you call baby oil, is usually mineral oil, refined, hypoallergenic and non comedogenic. It's a petroleum byproduct, and it's marketed and advertised as safe and good for the skin. They also add some synthetic fragrance and/or some other chemical elements. It's cheap and available everywhere.
I would prefer to use something different, like pure jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower oil or safflower oil.

I use baby oil in the winter if my skin gets very dry. I just slather some on in the shower and let it sit for a couple minutes. Rinse it off and you're good to go. It's much quicker than trying to rub lotion all over your arms, legs, etc. I just use the brand that's cheapest at the drug or grocery store.
I use Vaseline for Men everyday and after every shave. Non-greasy and keeps things well moisturized.
