    In general, yes.
    But in this particular case, “Oil of Olay” is a brand name. They have many products that aren’t based around oil.

      I’m curious though what an oil free cream is made of that would be safe to put on your skin….

          That’s oil… maybe fatty acids with a chemical change on the end of the molecule?

            Oils are often considered as fats, triglycerides, that are liquid at room temperature. Thus, any triglycerides that aren’t, aren’t oils.
            Glycerin itself would also be safe to put onto skin as well.

    I don’t understand the issue.

    Oh. OIL FREE OIL of Olay.

    Yeah, it’s a brand, Dairy Queen doesn’t change it’s name when you buy a hot dog.

    Why the downvotes when OP asks in this particular sub?

    It used to be called Oil of Ulay here in the UK. When I went to Australia in the late 90s is was Oil of Ulan. Then one day I discovered it was Oil of Olay. I thought I was losing my mind and that this was a classic case of the Mandela Effect. Turns out it was just marketing, like Marathon becoming Snickers.
