Plant-based petroleum jelly Vegeline will pleasantly surprise you. You can throw petroleum-based petroleum jelly into the trash.

If you have so far avoided the use of petroleum jellies in cosmetics due to the content of mineral oils, paraffin or other petrochemical components, from now on you do not have to. Vegeline represents a plant-based alternative to traditional petroleum jelly.

WHAT IS GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT VEGELINE PETROLEUM JELLY?

Vegeline plant-based petroleum jelly consists of a blend of vegetable oils and waxes which create a texture similar to traditional petroleum jelly, but purely on a natural basis. The base of the Vegeline plant-based petroleum jelly is castor oil and carnauba wax. Thanks to them, this petroleum jelly is an excellent emollient for your cosmetic formulations.

The main functions of petroleum jelly are that it reduces transepidermal water loss from the skin, while on the skin it creates a protective barrier, which increases the conditioning properties of cosmetic products and prolongs the effect of their action. It spreads very well and leaves on the skin a sensation similar to vegetable butters; it is less greasy than classical petroleum jellies.

In addition, Vegeline is a substance that is naturally water-resistant, non-irritant and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores), thanks to which the plant-based petroleum jelly is much better compatible with the skin than products based on petrochemicals and at the same time does not leave a sticky feeling after application.


You will also appreciate the plant-based petroleum jelly as a thickener in the oil phase of various products; with Vegeline you can adjust the viscosity, and thereby the structure and consistency of the finished products. Petroleum jelly is added to the oil phase; it is highly resistant to oxidation. It can be combined with other emollients (such as vegetable butters and waxes). The recommended dosage is in the range of 1% to 50% of the product.


You will use Vegeline in facial and body creams as an emollient, further in hair care products, where it can serve as a base raw material for the production of waxes, gels, nourishing shampoos or conditioners. It will also find application as a moisturising raw material in lip products (lipsticks and balms), and likewise in other decorative cosmetics, especially in make-up or make-up primers. You can also use the plant-based petroleum jelly in sunscreens or in moisturising products after sun exposure.
