About Liquid Paraffin

Liquid paraffin, also widely known as white mineral oil, is a highly refined, clear, colorless, and odorless liquid composed of saturated hydrocarbons derived from petroleum distillation. Unlike unrefined crude oils, cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade liquid paraffin undergoes intense purification to remove toxic impurities, making it chemically inert, stable, non-reactive, and safe for human use.
