I've noticed that Johnson's have variations of their regular baby oil - Johnson's baby oil lavender, and Johnson's baby oil with aloe vera and vitamin e. Do these extra ingredients actually have any benefit, or are they just a gimmick to jack up the price of what would otherwise be cheap mineral oil?
To the best of my knowledge, they do not publish the % of these ingredients. I would believe this to be only marketing gimmick.
I could buy Vitamin E capsules & mix onmy own at a lower cost. That way I know how much vitamin e is there.
Lavender is a known skin irritant (Source: Paula Begoun).
Aloe Vera is very soothing, if present in large quantity/percentage.
