Why doesn't salt dissolve in baby oil?
Salt is not soluble in baby oil because baby oil is a nonpolar substance, while salt is a polar substance. Polar substances dissolve best in other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve best in other nonpolar substances. In this case, the polarity difference between salt and baby oil prevents them from mixing or dissolving into each other.
Is mineral oil a mineral?
No. By definition, a mineral must be a solid and have crystals
What mineral is used in table salt?

Is mineral oil the same as mineral turpentine?
No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances.

Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.

Yes, naphthalene crystals are soluble in mineral oil, as both are nonpolar substances. When naphthalene is added to mineral oil, it dissolves to form a homogeneous solution.
Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?
halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.
