It's a food grade petroleum product that has many uses....

In your regular knife maintenance it keeps your knives from rusting but will not contaminate your food.

Use it to season wooden utensils - again - not contaminating your food.

As a stain remover - rub it into stains on clothing before washing. It breaks up the stains and lets the detergent do its thing.

Keeps your zippers zipping.

Takes off tape residue.

Keeps you regular.

Moisturizer.

Make up remover.

We use it on rabbit & dogs ears to get rid of ear mites...other animals, too. Also keep some handy for birthing assistance with cattle & sheep. As well as adding to horse feed when they are likely to get colic and bound up during winter months due to low water intake during cold snaps (prefer wheat germ oil, but mineral oil does the trick, too).

Place on rusted or sticking tractor & implement parts if nothing else is available to free things up and keep them moving.

ABsolutely wonderful for seasoning wooden countertops so that it is safe to put food on. Use it lightly so that there is not a build up of the oil. As said before it is a great way to keep rust off of things and to remove rust on things that did not get a coat of oil.

Do what you gotta do.
