About Chlorinated Paraffin

Chlorinated Paraffin is a chlorinated mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth, protect the skin from external factors, and dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formula.[2] It is also used to adjust the formula’s viscosity and flow.[2]
