About Paraffin

Paraffin is a solid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum and characterized by relatively large crystals.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials, to leave the skin surface soft and smooth, and to control the viscosity and flow of formulations.[2]
