Liquid Paraffin Oil

Paraffin oil, also known as mineral oil or liquid paraffin, is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless petroleum derivative. It is a highly refined hydrocarbon mixture composed of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Paraffin oil finds widespread use in various applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and industrial lubricants. In cosmetics and skincare products, it is commonly used as an emollient and moisturizer due to its ability to lock in moisture and soften the skin. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a laxative and a base for ointments and creams. Additionally, paraffin oil is utilized as a lubricant in mechanical equipment and as a carrier oil in fragrance formulations. Its inert nature and low reactivity make it suitable for numerous applications where purity and stability are crucial.
