Pharmaceutical Liquid Paraffin

Pharmaceutical Liquid Paraffin by Faragam Paraffin

Pharmaceutical Liquid Paraffin, also known as medicinal white oil or mineral oil, is one of the most essential ingredients in modern pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. At Faragam Paraffin, we provide high-quality, refined liquid paraffin specifically designed for medical, cosmetic, and industrial applications that require exceptional purity and consistency.

Our pharmaceutical-grade liquid paraffin is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and completely free from harmful impurities. It is derived from highly refined mineral oil, processed under strict quality standards to ensure compliance with international pharmacopeia specifications such as BP, USP, and EP. This makes it suitable for direct contact with the human body in a wide range of therapeutic and skincare products.

Key Characteristics

• High Purity and Stability:
  Faragam Paraffin’s pharmaceutical liquid paraffin undergoes advanced hydrogenation and purification to eliminate sulfur, aromatic compounds, and unsaturated hydrocarbons. The result is a stable, non-reactive, and microbiologically safe oil.

• Excellent Lubrication Properties:
  Its smooth texture and film-forming ability make it ideal for applications where gentle lubrication is needed, such as in laxatives, creams, and ointments.

• Moisturizing and Protective Action:
  The oil forms a protective layer on the skin that helps retain moisture, reduce transepidermal water loss, and improve skin softness — making it a popular base in lotions, baby oils, and therapeutic balms.

• Neutral and Non-Comedogenic:
  It does not clog pores or irritate sensitive skin, which is why it’s widely used in hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested formulations.

Applications in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical Liquid Paraffin is a versatile excipient and functional ingredient used in various dosage forms.

• Oral Preparations:
  It is often used as a mild laxative to relieve constipation, providing smooth bowel movement without irritating the intestinal lining.

• Topical Formulations:
  As an emollient base, it serves as a carrier for active ingredients in creams, ointments, and gels. Its occlusive nature enhances the efficacy of moisturizing and healing treatments.

• Ophthalmic and Nasal Products:
  Due to its purity and inert properties, it can be safely used in eye ointments and nasal sprays.

• Veterinary Medicine:
  Pharmaceutical liquid paraffin also finds use in veterinary formulations for treating dryness and skin irritations in animals.

Applications in the Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry

In cosmetics, Faragam Paraffin liquid paraffin serves as a foundational ingredient for a wide range of skincare and haircare products.

• Skin Care: It softens and protects the skin, maintaining hydration and smoothness in cold or dry conditions.

• Hair Care: It provides shine and manageability in hair oils, conditioners, and styling products.

• Makeup and Cleansers: It’s used in makeup removers and foundations to improve spreadability and skin feel.
