Using Johnson baby oil for fretboard?

Just wondering if anyone tried using that? Since it is after all mineral oil and fragrance, it theoretically could be use as a fretboard conditioner/moisturizer.
Would like to hear inputs from more experience softies.
 
different products exist for a reason, to be used in the right context.

Last thing wanna, is to use something which might seem interchangeble, but not meant for the right usage and in the end, causing problems which result in spending more money trying to correct it

imho
 
Some guys have actually mentioned using it before. And I've tried it on a rosewood fretboard.

No side effects as far as I can tell. Doesn't smell as good as lemon oil though - the baby oil is more suited for natural body smells, not the woody smell, kinda clashing. But the smell didn't affect my playing. Looked fine. Played fine, no sticky feeling.
