Mineral oil is a mixture of complex hydrocarbons, mainly cyclic paraffins and alkanes (ideally 15 to 40 percent carbons). Mineral oil is chemically the same as petroleum jelly or white mineral oil, except it is liquid petroleum which makes it an ideal choice for several applications.
Mineral oil is organic. However, it is classified as mineral oil instead of as organic oil because its organic origin is remote (and was unknown at the time of its discovery), and because it is obtained in the vicinity of rocks, underground traps, and sands.irst attested in English 1176, the word oil comes from Old French oile, from Latin oleum, which in turn comes from the Greek á¼Î»Î±Î¹Î¿Î½ (elaion), olive oil, oil and that from á¼Î»Î±Î¯Î± (elaia),  olive tree, olive fruit.
