Liquid Paraffin uses Across Industries
Also known as mineral oil, liquid paraffin is a clear, odorless, and highly stable substance derived from petroleum. Thanks to its purity and versatility, it’s used in a wide range of industries — from skincare to pharmaceuticals, food processing, and beyond.
At Faragam Paraffin, we produce and supply high-quality grades tailored for cosmetic, medical, food, and industrial applications — all manufactured to meet strict international standards.
Where It’s Used
In Cosmetics & Personal Care
This ingredient plays a key role in the beauty industry. It’s commonly found in:
Moisturizers and body lotions
Skin creams and ointments
Massage oils and baby care products
Its emollient properties help lock in moisture, keeping skin soft, smooth, and protected from dryness.
Pharmaceutical Applications
In healthcare, it’s used both topically and orally:
As a base for medicinal creams and ointments
As a mild laxative for short-term relief of constipation (in pharmaceutical-grade form)
We ensure our product is refined to the highest safety and purity standards for therapeutic use.
In Food Production
Only food-grade mineral oil is approved for use with food. It serves practical functions such as:
Coating fruits to preserve freshness
Acting as a non-stick agent in food processing
Its inert nature means it won’t react with food or alter taste.
In the Textile Industry
Manufacturers use it as a lubricant to reduce friction during:
Yarn spinning
Weaving processes
This not only protects fibers but also boosts production efficiency.
For Candle Making & Wood Treatment
It’s a go-to material in:
High-end candle manufacturing
Furniture polishes and wood waxes
It enhances shine, adds a protective layer, and extends the life of finished surfaces.
In Industrial & Chemical Applications
In more technical settings, it acts as:
A lubricant or stabilizer
A carrier in chemical formulations
A thermally stable fluid in high-temperature processes
Its resistance to oxidation makes it a dependable choice in demanding environments.
