White Oil – Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania & Ethiopia

Product Description

White Oil is a highly refined mineral oil valued for its purity, stability, lubricating properties, and low colour. Depending on its grade, it serves as a raw material in cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, plastics, rubber processing, and various industrial applications. It is available in different viscosity grades to meet specific manufacturing and formulation requirements.

In cosmetics and personal care, suitable grades support the production of creams, lotions, massage oils, hair products, and other formulations that require a stable mineral oil. Pharmaceutical-grade white oil, often referred to as liquid paraffin, serves as an ingredient in selected pharmaceutical and healthcare products when it meets the relevant quality standards. The appropriate grade must match the intended application and applicable regulatory requirements.

White Oil also supports industrial manufacturing, including selected plastic processing, rubber production, textile applications, and machinery-related processes. Its lubricating and moisture-resistant properties make it useful in formulations where consistent performance and chemical stability are important.

System Star Industrial supplies White Oil across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. We support manufacturers, cosmetic producers, personal care businesses, and industrial customers with supply options for commercial and bulk requirements, subject to stock availability, grade, and product specifications.

White Oil grades are not interchangeable across all applications. Always confirm the viscosity, purity, intended use, and relevant safety or regulatory requirements before purchase.

Applications of White Oil

Cosmetics and personal care: Suitable grades support creams, lotions, hair products, massage oils, and other personal care formulations.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Pharmaceutical-grade material may serve as an ingredient in selected healthcare preparations where permitted.

Plastic manufacturing: Supports selected polymer processing and mould-release formulations, depending on the process requirements.
