About Petrolatum

Petrolatum is a semisolid of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum.[1] The moisturized feel and spreadability of finished products containing petrolatum may vary depending on the use concentration and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce static electricity that causes hair strands to lift or stick together and to lower friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel.[2]
