Cosmetic-Grade Petroleum Jelly Product Introduction and Uses

Cosmetic-grade petroleum jelly is a high-purity mineral wax base material, refined from petroleum distillation. Its main components are hydrocarbons, with no additives or trace amounts of antioxidants, making it suitable for daily chemical products that come into direct contact with the skin. Its physical form is a colorless or light yellow semi-solid ointment, with strong chemical stability, resistance to oxidation and deterioration, and the ability to quickly form a dense oil film to isolate external irritants.

‌Core Characteristics‌

• ‌Moisturizing and Barrier Function‌: Forms an occlusive protective film on the skin surface, locking in moisture and preventing dryness and cracking, especially suitable for dry and sensitive skin repair.
• ‌Safety and Mildness‌: Large molecules prevent absorption into the skin, acting only on the stratum corneum to soften dead skin and reduce itching, with no irritation to healthy skin.
• ‌Compatibility‌: Easily combined with anionic surfactants to enhance the emulsification stability of lotion-based products.

‌Main Uses‌

‌1. Skincare and Repair‌

• ‌Daily Moisturizing‌: Serves as a core ingredient in moisturizing creams and hand creams, providing long-lasting hydration to dry areas (such as elbows and heels).
• ‌Lip Care‌: Specifically used in lip balm formulations to relieve dryness and pain, maintaining soft and hydrated lips.
• ‌Wound Assistance‌: Acts as a temporary dressing for minor wounds or abrasions, reducing the risk of infection and accelerating healing.

‌2. Special Care and Protection‌

• ‌Extreme Environment Protection‌: Protects skin from damage caused by ultraviolet rays and cold winds in harsh or dry climates.
• ‌Sensitivity Relief‌: Alleviates redness, swelling, and itching caused by allergies, requiring skin testing to avoid adverse reactions.

‌3. Cosmetic Ingredient Compatibility‌

• ‌Formulation Carrier‌: Enhances spreadability in foundations and primers, improving makeup adherence and finish.
• ‌Safety Assessment Application‌: Requires evaluation of ingredient usage based on international authoritative data (e.g., SCCS, CIR) to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
