Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum Jelly or Petrolatum is one of the most used cosmetic ingredients in cosmetic and personal care products. Petroleum Jelly can prove to be beneficial for your skin if it is properly purified or refined. However, many times it is not fully refined and might create many issues. We have manufactured totally refined USP Grade Petrolatum for our customers.
Petrolatum jelly is created as a byproduct while refining petroleum. Its melting point is a little greater than 37-degree Celsius which means almost equal to that of human body temperature. As a result, Petroleum Jelly melts easily when applied to the surface of your skin. Petroleum Jelly is used in cosmetic applications since it creates a thick film over your skin which repels water and holds moisture. Moreover, this filmy layer also protects your skin from pollutants, germs, and bacteria.
Petroleum Jelly is available in 100% pure form and is in a semi-solid state. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons that are derived from petroleum. Petroleum Jelly is odorless and translucent when it comes to its appearance. Petrolatum Jelly does not oxidize when exposed to air and does not dissolve in water as well. Petroleum Jelly gets dissolved in hot alcohol.
