Description :

Overview of Paraffin Wax

Paraffin Wax is a petroleum-derived wax widely used in personal care and home care applications due to its excellent structuring, moisture-locking, and protective properties. It appears as a white to off-white solid and is available in different melting point grades to suit various formulation requirements.

In personal care products, Paraffin Wax is commonly used to provide occlusivity, improve texture, and enhance product stability. It helps form a protective barrier on the skin, reducing moisture loss, and is widely used in creams, lotions, balms, ointments, and salon-based skin treatments. It is often formulated with Beeswax, Microcrystalline Wax, Petroleum Jelly, and Mineral Oil to achieve the desired consistency and performance.

In home care applications, Paraffin Wax is used in candles, polishes, coatings, and surface-protection products. Its clean-burning nature, water resistance, and gloss-enhancing properties make it suitable for household and industrial use.

ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Paraffin Wax suitable for personal care, cosmetic, and home care manufacturing, ensuring consistent melting behaviour, reliable performance, and dependable bulk supply.
