Witepsol W25
Pharmaceutical wax used as a base for suppositories. Composed mainly of saturated fatty acids, it offers excellent stability and long shelf life. Thanks to its low melting point, it melts at body temperature, enabling gradual, controlled release of active ingredients. Non-toxic and biodegradable, it is safe for human use and respectful of the environment.
