Witepsol W25
Pharmaceutical wax used as a base for suppositories. Composed mainly of saturated triglycerides, 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.
