Please read -From Web MD:
“Turpentine oil is POSSIBLY SAFE when adults use it on their skin or inhale it appropriately. When used on the skin, it can cause skin irritation. When inhaled, turpentine oil can cause spasms of the airways, particularly in people with asthma and whooping cough.

Turpentine oil is UNSAFE when taken by mouth or used over a large area of skin. Turpentine oil, when taken by mouth, can cause serious side effects including headache, sleeplessness, coughing, bleeding in the lungs, vomiting, kidney damage, brain damage, coma, and death.

Petroleum – A recent study showing that the petroleum builds up in the skin and the body isn’t able to process and excrete it, and can even causes our bodies to become more toxic. Petroleum distillates (aka napthas) is linked to lung and mucuos damage.  Studies suggest that exposure to PAHs — including skin contact over extended periods of time — is associated with cancer.  On this basis, the European Union classifies petrolatum a carcinogen  and restricts its use in cosmetics. PAHs in petrolatum can also cause skin irritation and allergies. These product may be cheaper, but at what cost? Scary!! (Info from  David Suzuki Foundation)
