Petroleum Jelly Yellow
What is Petroleum Jelly Yellow?
Petroleum Jelly Yellow is a semi-solid hydrocarbon mixture known, like White Petroleum Jelly, for its protective and soothing properties. In the international cosmetics industry, it is referred to by the INCI name Petrolatum. The main difference from White Petroleum Jelly is that the yellow variant is less refined, retaining its characteristic yellow color. It is widely used in pharmaceutical ointments, cosmetics, and various industrial applications due to its moisturizing and protective effects.

How is Petroleum Jelly Yellow gemaakt?
Petroleum Jelly Yellow is produced through the refining of mineral oils and waxes. Unlike White Petroleum Jelly, it undergoes a less intensive purification process, which allows it to retain its natural yellow color. The result is a stable, protective, and versatile product that can be widely used in both personal care formulations and technical applications.
Function of Petroleum Jelly Yellow
Petrolatum has an occlusive effect: it forms a protective barrier on the skin that prevents moisture loss and combats dryness. This provides deep hydration and protection for the skin. Petroleum Jelly Yellow is also an effective emollient and carrier for active ingredients in ointments and creams. Its slightly more robust composition makes it well-suited for technical applications where long-lasting protection is required.
