White Oil FAQ Section
What is the shelf life of white oil?
When stored properly in sealed containers away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, white oil maintains its quality for at least 5 years from production date. For pharmaceutical applications, we recommend using within 3 years.
Is white oil safe for skin contact?
Our cosmetic-grade white oil is specifically formulated to be non-comedogenic and safe for prolonged skin contact. It meets USP/NF and FDA requirements for incidental food contact applications. However, we always recommend patch testing for individuals with sensitive skin.
What's the difference between technical and pharmaceutical white oil?
Pharmaceutical white oil undergoes additional purification steps to remove aromatic compounds and meets strict regulatory standards (USP/EP). Technical grade has slightly higher aromatic content and is used in industrial applications where human contact isn't expected.
