White Oil: The Unscented Powerhouse Across Industries
🧴 What is White Oil?
White Oil, also known as Mineral Oil, Liquid Paraffin, or Light Liquid Petroleum, is a highly refined, clear, odorless, tasteless, and colorless petroleum-derived oil. It consists of saturated aliphatic and alicyclic nonpolar hydrocarbons and is completely free from aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur, and other impurities.
Through rigorous refining processes—typically involving hydrotreatment and/or acid treatment—white oil attains high purity standards. It’s chemically stable, non-toxic, and non-reactive, making it one of the most versatile and safe oils used across numerous sectors.

🏭 Applications of White Oil Across Industries
1. Pharmaceutical Industry (Pharma/USP Grade)
White Oil is a core ingredient in many medicinal and dermatological products, such as:
- Ointments and creams: Used as a base or emollient
- Laxatives: Acts as a lubricant for the bowel
- Tablet coatings: Enhances smoothness and appearance
- Nasal sprays and ear drops: Safe for internal human contact
✔️ Meets pharmacopoeial standards (USP, BP, EP)
✔️ Non-irritant, hypoallergenic
2. Cosmetic & Personal Care (Cosmetic Grade)
Thanks to its stability, spreadability, and moisturizing properties, white oil is widely used in:
- Baby oils and skin lotions
- Cold creams and hair oils
- Lip balms and makeup removers
- Deodorants and sunscreens
White oil acts as a non-greasy emollient, providing smooth texture and barrier protection without clogging pores.
3. Food Industry (Food Grade White Oil)
White Oil is FDA-approved (as E905b) and used in food processing for:
- Lubrication of food machinery
- Release agent on baking trays and cutting blades
- Packaging film production (e.g., food-grade plastic wrap)
- Dust control in grain and sugar processing
✔️ Non-toxic and safe for incidental food contact
✔️ Used in baking, meat processing, and milling industries
4. Plastic and Polymer Industry
White Oil is essential in plastic and elastomer manufacturing:
- Plasticizers in PVC, TPE, and EVA
- Extender oils for rubber and foam formulations
- Processing aids that enhance mold flow and surface finish
✔️ Improves extrusion, reduces die buildup
✔️ Controls viscosity in soft plastics
5. Textiles and Lubricants
In industrial applications, white oil is used for:
- Textile fiber lubricants
- Metal drawing compounds
- Industrial sewing machine oils
- Anti-rust and mold-release agents
✔️ Low reactivity and high lubricity
✔️ Ideal for sensitive machinery and textile yarns
6. Agriculture & Animal Care
In veterinary and farming applications, white oil serves as:
- Carrier oil in insecticides and pesticides
- Coating agent for fruit protection (e.g., citrus shine)
- Lubricant in agricultural equipment
- Component in udder creams and hoof care products
🌿 Environmental & Safety Profile
- Biodegradable in some forms (especially pharmaceutical grade)
- Low volatility, non-carcinogenic
- Does not form reactive peroxides or polymerize
- Safe when handled with standard precautions
⚠️ Storage & Handling
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Use airtight containers to avoid contamination
- Maintain hygiene standards, especially for food and pharma grades
- Use gloves and eye protection in bulk handling scenarios
