Kerax paraffins waxes are excellent choices for producers looking to manufacture their own excipients. We have a range of products that conform to British Pharmacopoeia (BP) & European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) monographs ensuring that you can be confident in the raw materials you’re selecting.
Fatty alcohols can serve as an emollient and emulsifier in pharmaceutical formulations. These products enhance the texture and stability of creams and lotions, ensuring they are easy to apply while maintaining their efficacy.
Petroleum Jelly & Liquid Paraffin
Our Pharmaceutical Grade Petroleum Jelly is a highly refined, pure product ideal for use in medicinal creams and ointments. It acts as a base that aids in the protection, moisturization, and healing of the skin, making it a key ingredient in treatments for dry skin and minor abrasions.
Liquid Paraffin in this range is a mineral oil used for its soothing and lubricating properties. It is particularly effective in pharmaceutical formulations aimed at treating dry or irritated skin, providing a layer of moisture that helps to ease discomfort and promote healing.
Paraffin, CS Alcohol & Emulsifying Waxes
Kerax soft paraffins are excellent for creating a smooth texture in ointments and creams. WSP is known for its purity and gentle effect on sensitive skin, while YSP offers similar benefits with a natural colouration, which can be beneficial in certain topical applications. CS Alcohol is a fatty alcohol that serves as an emollient and emulsifier in pharmaceutical formulations. It enhances the texture and stability of creams and lotions, ensuring they are easy to apply while maintaining their efficacy.
Our Emulsifying Wax is crucial for producing stable emulsions in medicinal creams and ointments. It allows for the effective blending of aqueous and oily components, resulting in a uniform product that is both effective and aesthetically pleasing.
