Mineral Oil Base 162 L

Mineral Oil Base 162 L: product Overview and Specification Snapshot

Mineral Oil Base serves as a stable foundation component for large-scale cosmetic and technical manufacturing. This product appears as an oily viscous liquid with almost no smell and carries the INCI name Paraffinum Liquidum (EU) / Mineral Oil. Bulk Oils category covers such base materials used across emulsions and ointment systems. The exact offering Mineral Oil Base 162 L arrives in drums suited for continuous production lines rather than small-batch work.

This item belongs to our Bulk Oils.

Origin, Sourcing and Grade

Production takes place in Germany under controlled industrial conditions. The material belongs to the liquid basic oils group and remains chemically inert, showing no oxidation upon air exposure and retaining stability over extended storage intervals. Purchasing managers value this grade for its consistent performance in pharmaceutical plants, cosmetic factories and food processing environments.

Functional Performance in Formulations

In cosmetic work the oil integrates into the fatty phase and supports texture building without altering other ingredients. It pairs effectively with plant-based oils such as refined poppy seed oil or cashew oil to adjust final consistency. Formulators also combine it with wheat germ oil when extended emulsion shelf life is required. section highlights related base options for ongoing formulation trials.

Formulation Guidelines

Add the oil during the melting stage at 60-75 degrees. Typical input levels include 1-2 percent in face and body creams, up to 5 percent in rinse-off hair products, up to 100 percent in softening preparations for rough skin, up to 80 percent in lip balms and 3-7 percent in protective face creams. The material dissolves readily in oils and the fatty phase, allowing straightforward incorporation across batch sizes.

Quality Control and Documentation

Each lot undergoes standard verification for viscosity, clarity and absence of odor. Documentation supplied with every shipment includes batch records that support traceability requirements common in B2B supply chains. R&D teams rely on this level of detail when scaling formulas from pilot to full production.

Packaging Options and Lot Consistency

Material ships in transport-grade containers starting from 162 liter units. Lot-to-lot uniformity remains high because the production process maintains narrow specification windows. Mineral Oil Base 50 ml provides a smaller reference size for initial compatibility checks before committing to bulk volumes.

FAQ

What is the fatty acid profile and oxidative stability of Mineral Oil Base?

Mineral Oil Base contains no fatty acids and therefore exhibits complete oxidative stability with no risk of rancidity during storage or processing.

What is the minimum wholesale batch and available pack options for Mineral Oil Base?

The standard wholesale starting quantity is 162 liters supplied in drums; larger volumes are available upon request for continuous manufacturing programs.

What input percentage and phase of addition apply to Mineral Oil Base?

Incorporate Mineral Oil Base into the oil phase at 60-75 degrees Celsius using the listed percentages: 1-2 percent for face and body creams, up to 5 percent for rinse-off hair products and higher levels for balms or protective preparations.

How does the refined grade of Mineral Oil Base differ from unrefined options?

The supplied grade undergoes refining that delivers an almost odorless, chemically inert liquid with superior long-term stability compared with less processed mineral oil variants.
