Are mineral oil based baby oils safe

I was appalled to read that mineral oil is a carcinogen and it's still used in baby oil. Infact main component of baby oil. I have been massaging my DS with such oill since a yr now, Johnson and Johnson baby oil which has had its fair share of bad news around its baby products. I am feeling scared now. Did I accidentally expose my son to harmful chemicals

The mineral oil in baby oil will be highly refined. I don't see why it would be harmful
