Ecocert-approved Vaseline alternative.

 Our Vegetable petrolatum presents similar physical and cosmetic properties to similar petroleum products.
It is 100 % natural and of vegetable origin and has a transparent gel appearance.

It increases viscosity in formulations, improves shine and gives a good skin slip.

Vegetable petrolatum is significantly less occlusive than Vaseline, but shows a similar hydration rate.

It can be used for all skin types and does not block skin pores. Vaseline is not recommended for normal and greasy skins.

Conditioning agent
Vegetable petrolatum enhances shine in gloss, lipsticks, lip balms. It can be used as a hair conditioner to bring shine to the hair.
It also provides sheathing effect, has good pigment wetting properties and so improves the long-lasting effect in all colour cosmetics.

Water-resistant activity
Vegetable petrolatum has a very similar water-resistant activity compared with Vaselines.
