MOSH/MOAH free
MOSH/MOAH free is a trend on products such as cosmetics, food packaging, and lubricants. It means the product does not contain the following two types of mineral oil hydrocarbons:
- MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons)
- MOAH (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons)
These substances are usually derived from petroleum-based products and are commonly found in lubricants, printing inks, waxes, and packaging materials. They may migrate into food or products during processing or packaging.
Why do the food-processing/pharmaceutical factories ask for “MOSH/MOAH free”?
- Health concerns: Especially MOAH, as some aromatic hydrocarbons are considered potentially carcinogenic.
- Food safety and regulatory compliance: Regions like the EU have strict limits on MOSH and MOAH in food, and some brands voluntarily label their products as “MOSH/MOAH free” to demonstrate safety and high quality.
- Cosmetics and baby products: Since these products come into prolonged contact with the skin, it’s particularly important that they are free from potentially harmful mineral oil components.
People are becoming increasingly concerned about food safety, demanding higher standards, stricter regulations, and greater transparency in food, beverage and pharmaceutical production. Brugarolas has a wide range of specialty products to meet the strict standards, we treat food-safety as our priority.

NSF
NSF-certified lubricants are specially formulated for use in industries where incidental food contact may occur, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations. NSF H1 (safe for incidental food contact), NSF 3H (direct food contact, such as release agents), making them essential in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and beverage industries.
No Allergies
No-allergy formulations in food-grade lubricants are important to prevent allergic reactions in consumers, especially since these lubricants may come into incidental contact with food during processing. By avoiding common allergens such as nuts, soy, dairy, or gluten, manufacturers ensure food safety, regulatory compliance, and consumer trust, particularly for individuals with severe food allergies.
Halal
Halal refers to anything that is permissible or lawful under Islamic law (Shariah), particularly concerning food, beverages, and other consumables. In the context of food, halal ensures that products are free from prohibited substances (such as pork and alcohol) and are processed according to Islamic guidelines, including humane animal slaughter. Also apply to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, ensuring ethical and religious compliance.
