White mineral oil used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry is a highly refined and purified version of mineral oil. These oils are strictly regulated and undergo rigorous testing protocols to meet the standards and be certified as white oil. White mineral oils provide effective bases for personal care and cosmetics products where they are used to lubricate, soften, smooth, moisturize and add emolliency. Uses can range from baby oil, skin lotions and sunscreen to hair care products, lipstick and makeup. It’s always important to ensure that white mineral oils used in the manufacturing of these products are highly refined, of superior quality and are ultra-pure. High levels of processing, testing and compliance go into developing and determining the quality and purity of finished white mineral oils.
Petro-Canada’s PURETOL™ White Mineral Oils offer some of the highest standards of purity and quality to meet your industry's demanding white oil standards. The PURETOL product line offers a full range of white mineral oils in a selection of viscosity grades with certifications for use in a variety of industries including personal care products, plastics, adhesives and pharmaceuticals. PURETOL White Mineral Oils are highly refined, colourless and odourless.
Purity you can count on
As the largest white mineral oil manufacturer in the world, Petro-Canada Lubricants produces PURETOL White Mineral Oils from start to finish. They provide fully integrated manufacturing of their products, which means they produce PURETOL from feedstock processing through to certified white oils. The source of Petro-Canada’s white mineral oil is its own base oil supply, an extremely pure base mineral oil, produced using the patented HT purity process. Petro-Canada is one of the first in the world to employ an HT process that removes virtually all impurities. These base oils are water white and 99.9% pure, among the purest in the world. Because of its unique formulation, PURETOL can be used in many pharmaceutical, plastics, health and beauty applications, including capsule lubricants, palletizing aid, ointment bases and laxatives.
