body cast mold release

If you're going to do any body casting, I recommend using Crisco instead of
Vaseline.
It's vegetable based, a lot more user friendly for the skin and MUCH easier
to clean up afterwards. Students I've had in face/bodycasting even like the
way it softens and moisturizes their skin. The butter flavored one is
optional.

From Alohaland, Ditmar.

I suppose if you were to go the veggie oil route, you could take it a step
further and use spray-on Pam.
I use it on clay, much easier and works great! (Just wouldn't recommend it for
the face)
