It doesn't, but it will have an extremely low solubility. Hydrocarbons
(unless they have very long chains) will not be very soluble in polar
solvents. Long chain non polar hydrocarbons may be slightly soluble due to
London dispersion forces.

And baby oil is a good suggestion. I'll see if I can get some of that.
