Not sure of your question, but if you are speaking of mineral oil, go to
Wally world or any other place with an OTC medical section and get USP
mineral oil under any of the brand names available. Note that it's not
"food safe," because it gives you the runs. It's medicine.

As I indicated earlier it's not a finish, and as a temporary coating it
leaves much to be desired, collecting and protecting dirt and sheltering
bacteria as it does. Oil which does not cure but does eventually evaporate
is pretty much an exercise in feel good rather than finish. What's even
stranger than the finish fiction are the folks that use it on cutting
boards, where it's quickly emulsified and washed down the drain with
detergent, forcing them to "renew" it periodically. Why bother? Of
course, a dry board is easier to sanitize, so perhaps it's a good thing to
get rid of the oil regularly.
