Yep - liquid paraffin (not paraffin wax).
Will take a bit of explaining if you are getting some from the pharmacist to refill it!
I have heard mention of glycerine, as well.
A little taste should confirm, but don't swallow it, just in case.
Liquid paraffin is very greasy with little taste. Glycerine has a strange hot but sweet taste.
