White Vaseline FU 30g

More and more; beauty product specialists claim that petroleum jelly is; an excellent cosmetic product, which helps the skin more ù dry to maintain the level of hydration of the skin, constituting a good remedy for lip care.

Cosmetic Vaseline or White Vaseline è a direct PETROLEUM derivative, obtained thanks to a refining process. This substance, obtained for the first time in 1893, today has important applications in the world of cosmetics. Protects the skin from the effects of the cold season, è used as a cleanser or as a cream against wrinkles in the eye area. present in the beauty kit for many years. This is; a derivative of petroleum and began to be studied in the 19th century, when some workers in Pennsylvania discovered that wounds caused by cuts heal faster; easily if you come into contact with oil. ?

L & rsquo; curative action on the skin, in case of scratches, cuts or burns can ò be explained in relation to the fact that the substance creates a protective and occlusive film that prevents germs from penetrating inside the damaged skin. This aspect can create some small problems if the skin is; of a fatty nature, because é it would prevent the golds from transpiring the sebaceous glands, but in cases of very dry skin, it can; represent a good solution to offer the feeling of elasticity and protection. White or cosmetic vaseline is not; recommended in case of burns or fresh scalds (yes as the oil burns), and not even to moisturize the nasal mucosa & ndash; petroleum particles can be inhaled from the lungs and can make the body sick.

Cosmetic petroleum jelly offers remarkable results especially in the cold season, especially when the skin and lips (without sebaceous glands) use to become dehydrated. Also, many women use it as a cleanser, night cream, or as a non-staining skin when painting their hair. Even makeup can be enhanced with petroleum jelly, for example, eye pencil è accentuated if it develops with a little vaseline or mascara can ò be replaced if a small amount is applied to the genes of petroleum jelly.

And & rsquo; It is important that you inquire about the purity of the compound, making sure that the vaseline you have purchased is pure and does not contain carcinogenic substances. In this regard, we report the legislation that establishes the quality standards of the substances contained in cosmetics. The Dangerous Substances Directive of the EEC n.67 / 548 / EEC and its subsequent amendments, establishes a clear classification among petroleum derivatives, between carcinogens and non-carcinogens. Vaseline (soft paraffin) is classified as carcinogenic cat.2, unless there is certainty that the base oil from which refining and processing is; derivative is not because it é It does not contain any impurities.

The suppliers of paraffin and petroleum jelly for cosmetic use must give a guarantee not to supply petroleum jelly of category 2 carcinogenic for impurities; contained, and in compliance with Directive 2003/15 / EC seventh amendment, they must make certified declarations to produce with base oils that no longer contain; of 3% of impurities; dangerous. Category 2 carcinogens cannot be used in cosmetic products. In addition to compliance of the European Pharmacopoeia, suppliers must give absolute certainty that their raw material is not; carcinogenic according to the Dangerous Substances Directive.

There are therefore two ways: the supplier will guarantee; to be aware of the entire refining process of the raw materials used in the production of petroleum jelly with relative and proven certificate of analysis Or the product must be obtained from substances belonging to the two non-carcinogenic groups (highly refined oils, paraffins and hydrocarbon waxes). For this problem, combined with its characteristics of occlusion and non-biodegrave ;, è a product that should be used with precise indications, in precise locations. For example in drugs (healing ointments where a lesion must not come into contact with the bacteria of the environment and the active ingredient must remain in place without being washed away by sweat or absorption of the cream by the skin) and in situations that require a barrier total. An & rsquo; alternative for cosmetic use è that of using vegetable oils and butters. In recent times, an increasing number of & ldquo; vegetable vaseline & rdquo; has been placed on the raw materials market, that is to say completely similar oils, in the properties à rheological (viscosity, density and fluidity), with petroleum jelly, but obtained not from hydrocarbons, but rather obtained from hydrocarbons. from vegetables. These fats have the characteristic of providing our skin with cosmetically valid substances.
