Product Introduction

White oil, also known as mineral oil or paraffin oil, is a highly refined liquid hydrocarbon derived from petroleum. This product is commonly used in the cosmetic and personal care industries due to its emollient and moisturizing properties. Its ability to create a barrier that locks in moisture makes it a popular ingredient in lotions, creams, and other topical formulations. White oil is recognized for its stability and compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients, making it a versatile choice for formulators.

Production Process

The production of white oil involves multiple stages of refining crude oil to remove impurities and undesirable components. The process begins with distillation, where crude oil is heated to separate different fractions based on boiling points. The fractions containing hydrocarbons suitable for cosmetic use are further processed through hydrotreating and hydrocracking. This ensures that the final product meets the required purity standards, making it safe for cosmetic applications.

Efficacy and Function

White oil serves primarily as an emollient and occlusive agent in skincare formulations. It helps to soften and smooth the skin by creating a protective layer that prevents moisture loss. Additionally, white oil can enhance the spreadability of products, giving them a desirable texture. It is particularly effective in soothing dry or irritated skin, providing a comforting effect in formulations intended for sensitive skin types.

Application Scenarios

White oil is widely used in various cosmetic formulations, including lotions, creams, and ointments. Its use extends beyond cosmetics; it is also found in baby oils, massage oils, and haircare products. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry utilizes white oil in ointments and creams for its moisturizing properties. It is also commonly used in products designed for sensitive skin due to its gentle nature.
