White oil is a transparent oily liquid with no It is colorless, odorless, chemically inert, and has good light stability. Its basic composition is a saturated hydrocarbon structure, and aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen-containing, oxygen-containing, sulfur-containing and other substances are close to zero. Insoluble in water and ethanol, soluble in volatile oils, miscible in most non-volatile oils, and stable to light, heat, acid, etc.
