White Soft Paraffin

Introduction

White Soft Paraffin is a purified form of petroleum jelly widely used as an emollient to moisturize and protect dry, cracked, or irritated skin. It works by forming a protective barrier over the skin, preventing moisture loss and shielding it from irritants. Suitable for all ages, White Soft Paraffin is gentle and often used in creams, ointments, and lotions to treat eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores, making it ideal for sensitive and delicate skin types.

How White Soft Paraffin Works

White Soft Paraffin works by creating a physical barrier on the skin’s surface, reducing water evaporation and locking in natural moisture. This barrier also protects the skin from external irritants and allergens, allowing it to heal naturally. It does not penetrate deep into the skin but effectively maintains hydration and soothes irritation.
