Based on the kinematic viscosity of white oil, it can be divided into multiple models such as 10 #, 15 #, 26 #, 36 #, 50 #, 70 #, etc. For example, the popular 15# white oil has a kinematic viscosity (@ 40 ℃) of 12.5-17.5mm²/ s. The flash point is around 150 ℃.
Cosmetic grade mineral oil, also known as white oil, paraffin oil, is a type of highly refined, odorless, and colorless oil that is commonly used in the cosmetic industry. It is derived from petroleum and undergoes a purification process to remove impurities and contaminants, resulting in a pure and stable product.
Cosmetic grade white oil is a popular ingredient in many skincare and personal care products, such as lotions, creams, and cosmetics, due to its ability to hydrate and moisturize the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It is also used as a base ingredient in many fragrances and as a lubricant in certain types of makeup products.
While some people may have concerns about using mineral oil on their skin due to its petroleum-based origin, cosmetic grade mineral oil is considered safe for use in cosmetics and has been approved by regulatory agencies such as the FDA. However, as with any cosmetic ingredient, it is important to follow the usage instructions and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or sensitivities.
