Is isohexadecane a mineral oil?
Isohexadecane is not classified as a mineral oil; rather, it is a synthetic hydrocarbon derived from petroleum. While mineral oil is a byproduct of refining crude oil and consists of a mixture of alkanes, isohexadecane is specifically a branched-chain alkane with a defined structure. It is often used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its emollient properties and low toxicity.

Tin and petroleum are the two main mineral resources that are of major significance in the Malaysian economy. Malaysia was once the world's largest producer of tin until the collapse of the tin market in the early 1980s. In the 19th and 20th centuries, tin played a predominant role in the Malaysian economy.

Why petroleum is not a mineral?
A mineral needs to be inorganic (no carbon in it and petroleum DEFINITELY has carbon) and a mineral also needs to be a solid and have a crystal structure, which only solids have. A2-out of curiosity and to learn more, I looked up "mineral" in Wikipedia. Certainly it should be a solid, crystalline, and have a defined chemical composition. Thus mixtures of minerals as often found are excluded, at least until separated. Interestingly, the Wiki article does mention organic minerals including hydrocarbons! A complication is that the term "mineral oil" is often used to describe liquids obtained from crude oil. These come under a separate Wikipedia heading for Mineral Oils. However it appears to strictly be a misnomer, some other name such as "Natural Non-Vegetable Oils" might be better but the present use of the term Mineral Oil is probably too well established.
Why isn't petroleum a mineral?
Petroleum is not a mineral because it is an organic substance derived from the remains of ancient plants and animals, while minerals are inorganic compounds with a crystalline structure formed in nature. Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, whereas minerals are naturally occurring solid substances with a specific chemical composition.
