Having seen the recipe (calling for 61% Liquid Paraffin), I'd definitely go
with the white mineral oil.  There _is_ a virtually odorless version of
kerosene marketed under the name "Ultrasene", but you'd end up with a really
runny liquid if you used that much, and with the white mineral oil you should
have a consistency much more like a "lotion."
