About white oils and liquid paraffin
White oils are highly refined, colourless and odourless mineral oils. Light and heavy grades are made by Indian refiners and blenders for cosmetic and other uses.
Producers state the viscosity, colour and purity tests on the certificate of analysis for each lot.
