Vaseline, white, n. Ph. Eur.
What is Vaseline ?
Vaseline is a mixture of liquid and solid hydrocarbons obtained from crude oil. The melting point is reached at 38° C to 60° C.
How is Vaseline produced?
Vaseline is obtained from residues left over from the distillation of crude oil. The cleaning and bleaching process of the raw Vaseline is carried out using sulphuric acid, bleaching earth and activated carbon until it becomes the familiar creamy substance.
Where is Vaseline used?
Vaseline is used in both pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It is effective against dry skin, as a protective ointment, ointment base or as protection against the cold. It is also used in the production of milking fat and as wound protection for babies and small children. Vaseline has a wide range of applications due to its typical paraffin chemical properties such as hydrophobicity, inertness and resistance.
What are the properties of Vaseline?
Vaseline is considered a very skin-caring and protective substance, is water-repellent and has occlusive properties. When applied to the skin, it forms a film that is impermeable and thus retains water. It is also a long-lasting product as it does not oxidise.
