Funnily enough years ago I worked in a perfume factory. It was one of my jobs to sample the chemicals etc as they came in, When Sweet Almond oil came in I used to forget the gloves as it realy helped my hands heal up. Sweet almond oil is in cooking oil and baby lotion etc I believe.
So perhaps you weren't so daft posting as the moisturising effect will help anyway and it looks like other oils might be useful too
