Paraffin Wax ( Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic & Industrial Grade )

INCI Name: Paraffin

Paraffin Wax is a highly refined, soft, colorless, and odorless solid derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil. Composed of straight-chain hydrocarbon molecules ranging between 20 to 40 carbon atoms, it exhibits exceptional purity, stability, and versatility. Its clean-burning properties, low oil content, and consistent melting behavior make it ideal for both industrial processing and consumer product applications.
