Distinctive features of the paraprocess in superparamagnetic particles have been explored within the formalism of the molecular field theory using Langevin's model. In particular, it has been demonstrated that at the Curie temperature and under magnetic fields $H$ not exceeding (by the order of magnitude) the "characteristic field" value $H'=kT_C/\mu_0$ (where $\mu_0$ is the particle magnetic moment at absolute saturation and $T_C$ is the Curie temperature), the magnetization of an ensemble of superparamagnetic particles is proportional to $H^3$ irrespective of the scatter of their sizes (and the moment $\mu_0$).
