Castor oil comes from the castor bean. It is a vegetable product. It is a laxative. It has been used as a lubricant and as a part of motor oil. Because it is poisonous, it has little use in the United States.
Petroleum Jelly comes from petroleum. It too can work as a lubricant. People have also used it on the outside of their bodies to cover a sore or rough place. Unlike castor oil, it is not poisonous. In fact, people should not have any allergic reaction to it. That is why it is used.
