Lip Care
The lip’s exposed membrane structure is different from other skin. Lips do not have the many protective layers of stratum corneum that is found in other skin. Lips also do not have the protection provided by the sweat glands and oil glands. Therefore, the lips are more vulnerable to any exposure to natural elements such as wind, cold, sun, etc. Long-term negligence of the lips will result in chapping, cracking, bleeding and the appearance of premature aging. Because of the structure of their skin, lips require consistent moisturization and protection if they are subject to exposure. We take these needs into account to help us produce our Drakeol® Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, VersastiqueTM and Versagel® that are used in lip care applications.
Baby Care
Babies have mild and sensitive skin which require extra care and attention. It is very thin and it is much different from the skin of adults. Use of mild soaps, shampoos, wipes, lotions and oil ensures the protection of the baby’s delicate skin. Today’s baby care products need to be gentle on the skin to prevent rashes and other skin irritations. We take these needs into account to help us produce our Drakeol® Mineral Oil, Versagel®, and Petrolatum that are used in baby care applications.
Drakeol® Mineral Oil

The baking industry requires a highly refined white mineral oil to function as a release agent in various types of process equipment. A colorless, odorless, tasteless white mineral oil must be used in dough handling machinery where the oil comes in contact with the dough.

Multi-pocket, high-capacity dough dividers, and roll or bun machines require a white mineral oil which is free from other oils or adulterants, and free or nearly free from fluorescence. The application of oil to the pockets, hopper, chutes or knives of a dough divider and on roll machines serves the dual purpose of preventing adhesion of the dough and inhibiting rust formation.

Drakeol® 7 LT MIN OIL NF are low viscosity oils and great for bread divider oil, bun machine oil, divider oil, blade
lubricants, rust preventatives, and simple release agents

Technical Details & Test Data

MINERAL OIL AND VERSAGEL MP

Study to Determine Comparative Mildness of Ingredients

A clinical study was conducted using 100 micro liters occlusive patches of product applied to backs of subjects for 14 days. Using the Berger & Bowman Grading score, the skin patches were evaluated and given standardized cumulative irritation scores. The study showed that Drakeol 7 (D7) was more than 50% less irritating than a commercial baby oil (BO) while Versagel MP 750 had a similarly low irritation score to BO. The study also showed the anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which is a known skin irritant as a positive control. The BO and SLS provided benchmarks that further showed how both Drakeol 7 White Mineral Oil and Versagel MP are very mild ingredients in applications such as moisturizers and offer hydration without irritating sensitive skin.
