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.

Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So... it's looking like OP is the dumb one, huh? Lol
I’m curious though what an oil free cream is made of that would be safe to put on your skin….
Fat of some sort, maybe
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.
But what about my Lactose Free Oat Queen soft serve!
Why’re you confused? The product has a name and a claim.
It's the same as all the PINK stuff that's just black and white.
Beauty fluid? Sounds so gross.
Do woman have to change Theo beauty fluid? What is this nonsense?
Brings to mind the old Liz Phair banger H.W.C. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DjYGxVzIxq4 In which case I agree, "beauty fluid" is cross ... and probably overpriced, given about half of the population is able to produce it at home for free.
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.
