Light Medicinal Oil

Description: Light Medicinal Oil

Light medicinal oil is a highly refined and specialized hydrocarbon-derived product, which, like white medicinal petroleum jelly, is used as an emulsifier in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. 

Obtaining light medicinal oil

The refining process of light medicated oil is essential to ensure its purity and stability. It starts with the selection of a high quality raw material and continues with deacidification, neutralization, degumming, decolorization and deodorization stages. 

These stages remove impurities, fatty acids and unwanted compounds to ensure that the oil is free of unsaturated components and is chemically stable. Following this process, the oil meets the highest standards and is safe for use in a wide variety of finished products.

What’s more, its high chemical stability makes it suitable for products that must be stored for long periods of time without degradation. Its purity and beneficial properties make it a valuable choice in many applications.

Pharmaceutical use

One of the most notable applications of light medicinal oil is in the medical industry. It is used in the manufacture of tablets, capsules and other medicines, where it acts as an emulsifier to ensure that the active ingredients are evenly distributed and released in a controlled manner in the body.

Its purity and stability ensure that it does not react with other compounds and does not alter the efficacy of drugs.

Application in cosmetics

In addition to its use in the pharmaceutical industry, light medicinal oil is also found in cosmetic products. It is used in the manufacture of skin care creams, lotions and oils thanks to its ability to provide hydration and improve skin texture. 

The chemical stability of the oil ensures that cosmetic products maintain their quality and do not deteriorate over time.
