Cosmetic Grade Petroleum Jelly Definition

Cosmetic grade petroleum jelly is a purified form of petroleum jelly that meets specific standards and regulations set for cosmetic and personal care products. It’s refined and processed to ensure high purity and safety for use on the skin, making it suitable for various cosmetic applications.

Petrolatum/petroleum jelly has a number of characteristics that make it attractive to cosmetic chemists. Firstly, Cosmetic Grade Petroleum Jelly is an emollient. It achieves this effect by restricting water loss from the skin, making it an ideal skin-conditioning agent for dry (xerotic) skin. It is an occlusive, and although very tacky, was used in the past by some women in place of a cold cream, vanishing cream or moisturiser.

Petroleum jelly, petrolatum, white petrolatum, soft paraffin, or multi-hydrocarbon, CAS number 8009-03-8, is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon numbers mainly higher than 25), originally promoted as a topical ointment for its healing properties.

After petroleum jelly became a medicine chest staple, consumers began to use it for many ailments, as well as cosmetic purposes, including toenail fungus, genital rashes (non-STD), nosebleeds, diaper rash, and chest colds. Its folkloric medicinal value as a “cure-all” has since been limited by better scientific understanding of appropriate and inappropriate uses. It is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an approved over-the-counter (OTC) skin protectant and remains widely used in cosmetic skin care.

Petroleum Jelly Types

There are different types of petroleum jelly for different needs. Various parameters may determine their classification.
The odor of petroleum jelly is one of these parameters. Refined petroleum jelly is originally almost odorless, but scented petroleum jelly with a pleasant smell can also be produced.
On the other hand, petroleum jelly can be divided into yellow and white colors. Each of them can be found in snow-white or light yellow forms.
However, the most well-known categorization of petroleum jelly types can be defined by its application.
They include:

• Cosmetic Petroleum Jelly
• Industrial Petroleum Jelly
• Pharmaceutical Petroleum Jelly

Cosmetic Grade Vaseline Applications

Cosmetic grade petroleum jelly has several applications in the beauty and personal care industry:

• Moisturizer: It’s commonly used as a moisturizing agent to hydrate and soften the skin, particularly in lotions, creams, and balms.
• Protective Barrier: Applied to protect the skin from moisture loss and external irritants, such as wind and cold weather. It’s often found in lip balms and barrier creams.
• Makeup Remover: Used to dissolve and remove makeup, including waterproof formulas, while being gentle on the skin.
• Lip Care: Included in lip balms, lipsticks, and lip glosses to moisturize and protect the lips from dryness and chapping.
• Healing Aid: Applied to minor cuts, burns, and scrapes to promote healing and prevent infection by creating a protective barrier over the wound.
• Hair Care: Used in hair pomades and styling products to add shine, control frizz, and moisturize the hair.
• Eyelash and Brow Enhancer: Some cosmetics contain petroleum jelly to condition and moisturize eyelashes and eyebrows, promoting healthy growth.
• Tattoo Aftercare: Used to moisturize and protect new tattoos, helping to prevent scabbing and itching during the healing process.
• Nail Care: Included in cuticle creams and nail treatments to moisturize and soften cuticles, as well as to add shine to nails.
• Skin Protection: Applied to areas prone to chafing or irritation, such as elbows, knees, and heels, to prevent friction and soothe dry skin.

Raw materials in the production of cosmetic petroleum jelly

Chesbrough had a formula for making petroleum jelly. The manufacturing procedures and components of cosmetic petroleum jelly have altered little since then. In general, the distillation and filtration processes have stayed nearly consistent in comparison to the past. As a result, synthetic cosmetic petroleum jelly contains many more chemicals than 100% pure petroleum jelly. The only petroleum jelly product with three purifying phases is cosmetic and medicinal petroleum jelly. Distillation, deaeration, and filtering are all part of the purifying process. These stages guarantee that the final product is as homogeneous and devoid of air bubbles as feasible. The filtering step differs depending on whether the product is used in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical industries.

Raw materials include paraffin oil and paraffin wax

Cosmetic petroleum jelly has two key ingredients: paraffin wax and liquid paraffin. Instead of alkane, the word “paraffin” is often used. In reality, paraffin oil is utilized to modify the consistency of the petroleum jelly cosmetic combination. Paraffin oil is a chemical that softens the skin while also bringing nutrients into it. Another byproduct created during the distillation process is paraffin wax. This product is then isolated and processed before being combined with paraffin oil. This chemical is combined with slack wax, a paraffin oil-based substance. Lubricating gel also produces slack wax as a byproduct. Sweating and solvent purification are used to purify paraffin wax.

Cosmetic petroleum jelly secondary ingredients

Petrolatum is a secondary ingredient used in the manufacture of petroleum jelly. Natural petrolatum may be purified using a variety of processes, including sulfuric acid treatment followed by sodium hydroxide neutralization. Filtration via white earth, animal charcoal, silica gel, or aluminum silicate is used, as well as selective solvent extraction and catalytic hydrogenation. The sole distinction between yellow and white petroleum jelly is that white cosmetic petroleum jelly has been treated more thoroughly. As a consequence of this procedure, a semi-solid, colorless product is produced. Later in the process, vitamin E is added to the mixture.
