Pure Petroleum Jelly – Cosmetic Grade

Petroleum Jelly is a time-tested ingredient known for its protective and moisturizing properties. It forms a barrier on the skin’s surface to lock in moisture and aid in healing dry, cracked skin. This semi-solid mixture is widely used in balms, ointments, lip care, and body butters for its ability to prevent water loss and enhance skin hydration.

Recommended Usage and Compatibility

Petroleum Jelly is best used in small quantities — typically up to 5% to 30% depending on the formulation. It is oil-soluble and blends well with essential oils, waxes, and butters, making it an ideal base for protective skincare products. It is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types.

Appearance and INCI Name

It appears as a soft, translucent white or slightly yellow gel. The INCI name is Petrolatum. It is odorless and has a smooth texture that glides easily on the skin.

• Body balms and salves
• Lip moisturizers

Stability and Storage

Petroleum Jelly has excellent shelf stability. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It does not require refrigeration and maintains consistency in various temperatures.
