Petroleum Jelly

Description :

Overview of Petroleum Jelly

Petroleum Jelly is a semi-solid hydrocarbon blend widely used in personal care and home care formulations for its occlusive, protective, and moisturising properties. It appears as a translucent to white ointment-like substance and is valued for forming an effective barrier that helps lock in moisture and protect surfaces from external irritants.

In personal care products, Petroleum Jelly is commonly used to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), soothe dry or cracked skin, and improve product texture. It is a key ingredient in ointments, balms, lip care products, baby care formulations, creams, and healing salves. It is often formulated alongside Paraffin Wax, Mineral Oil, Beeswax, and Lanolin to achieve the desired consistency and performance.

In home care applications, Petroleum Jelly is used in polishes, rust prevention products, and speciality maintenance formulations where lubrication, moisture resistance, and surface protection are required.

ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Petroleum Jelly suitable for personal care and home care manufacturing, ensuring consistent quality, reliable performance, and dependable bulk supply.
