Crystal Plus® Food Grade White Mineral Oil

High-Purity Solutions for Food, Pharma, Industrial, and Agricultural Applications

At STE Oil Company, we are proud to be a trusted leader in providing high-quality white mineral oil products across three primary categories: Non-Formulated, Formulated (Food Grade Lubricants), and Dust Suppression Oils. Our Crystal Plus® White Mineral Oils are engineered to meet the highest purity and performance standards across a wide range of industries—from food processing to pharmaceuticals to grain handling.

Product Categories

Non-Formulated White Mineral Oil

Our non-formulated white mineral oils are pure, highly refined, and contain no additives. These are ideal for:

• Direct or incidental food contact applications
• Cosmetic formulations
• Pharmaceutical use
• Technical applications where purity is critical

This grade is colorless, odorless, and tasteless—meeting the strictest quality standards for safety and performance.

Formulated White Mineral Oil (Food Grade Lubricants)

Also referred to as food-grade lubricants, these oils are enhanced with FDA-approved additive systems that provide:

• Excellent rust protection
• Oxidation resistance
• Anti-wear properties

They are commonly used on food processing equipment and machinery where incidental food contact is possible.

Dust Suppression Oils

Designed specifically for grain handling operations, our dust suppression oils:

• Are food-grade and safe for use in grain elevators
• Maintain flowability in low temperatures
• Resist rancidity and do not affect the quality of grain or feed
• Are compliant for use in feed mills (technical grade only)

Petrolatum Products

STE also offers food-grade petrolatums, which are:

• Odorless, tasteless, and non-drying
• Rich in emollients
• Widely used as bases for salves, ointments, and creams in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and veterinary sectors

Regulatory Compliance & Certifications

When it comes to regulatory standards, STE passes the test.

Our Crystal Plus® white mineral oils meet or exceed all key requirements established by:

• U.S. FDA Regulations
