oil-free
Lacking fatty residue
Oil-free describes products or substances that contain no oil, typically cosmetics, skincare, or food: an oil-free moisturizer, oil-free salad dressing.
For skin products, it usually signals suitability for acne-prone or oily skin types.
The term sometimes appears on machinery or compressors that operate without lubricating oil.
