Mineral oil, also known as liquid paraffin, is a naturally-derived odorless, colorless oily liquid. This variety of Mineral Oil 70 USP represents the most refined, purest grade with a low viscosity. Mineral oil in cosmetics may help prevent moisture loss and rejuvenate oneâ??s skin due to its natural emollient properties, making this a very common ingredient in topical personal-care products such as ointments, creams, sunscreen and lip care. In additional to personal-care formulations, bulk mineral oil 70 is often used in a wide-range of industrial applications as a lubricant or release agent. Itâ??s used in the rubber, machinery, light textile, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. This product has been tested and meets the standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for purity and quality.

White mineral oils are highly refined mineral oils, and are composed of saturated aliphatic and alicyclic nonpolar hydrocarbons. They are odorless, tasteless, colorless, hydrophobic, and donot change their color over time. The oil is biologically and chemically stable, and doesnot support pathogenic bacterial growth, which makes it the standard choice of oil in most industries.
White Mineral Oil that we offer is free from all kinds of impurities. Thus, it is 100% safe to use. By supplying such quality, We have become a leading Exporter and Supplier of White Mineral Oil from UAE.
