You would need to add an emulsifier. This is what Wikipedia says about emulsifiers: An emulsifier (also known as an emulgent) is a substance which stabilizes an emulsion by increasing its kinetic stability. One class of emulsifiers is known as surface active substances, or surfactants. Examples of food emulsifiers are egg yolk (where the main emulsifying agent is lecithin), honey, and mustard, where a variety of chemicals in the mucilage surrounding the seed hull act as emulsifiers; proteins and low-molecular weight emulsifiers are common as well. Soy lecithin is another emulsifier and thickener. In some cases, particles can stabilize emulsions as well through a mechanism called Pickering stabilization. Both mayonnaise and Hollandaise sauce are oil-in-water emulsions that are stabilized with egg yolk lecithin or other types of food additives such as Sodium stearoyl lactylate.

Can i make mayo with mineral oil?

Mayo (mayonnaise) is basically an oil and vinegar salad dressing with eggs added to it. Since the oil and vinegar mixture will separate into its components, eggs are added to it as an emulsifier that will bind to the oil and vinegar and prevent it from separating. You may be able to make something that looks like and has the consistency of mayonnaise with mineral oil but it will not be mayonnaise. The oil used to make mayonnaise is a vegetable oil or otherwise edible fat that is a food nutrient that is digested and absorbed by the body. Mineral oil is not an edible oil. Mineral oil will mostly go right through the digestive system without being absorbed and is excreted. A common use of mineral oil is as an enema.
