First, peanut oil is not an allergen unless maybe it is "cold pressed"
peanut oil. Refined peanut oil is not a problem. However, it is
expensive, plus you'll never convince some of the hysterical mothers
that peanut oil is safe, so you made the right choice.

How about sunflower oil?

I would use "vegetable oil" (soybean), and just make sure the bottle was
fresh.
