Benefits: Proven, functional alternatives to petrolatum and waxes

For added thermostability, to build viscosity and improve the feel of anhydrous formulations

Made using a proprietary vegetable gel technology using natural ingredients

Works as an excellent carrier in CBD oil and hemp oil based formulations

Canola oil based

Soft opaque gel

Equivalent water repellency and TEWL to petrolatum with a less greasy, less tacky feel

Reduces expensive natural waxes in anhydrous formulations

Increases melting temperature of anhydrous products, when compared to using petrolatum
Product Background: Vegelatum® Gels can easily replace petrolatum in existing formulations. Vegelatum looks and performs like petrolatum in a more natural way. TEWL studies performed by an external laboratory showed comparable results between petrolatum, Vegelatum® Clear and Vegelatum® Equiline.

Technical Details & Test Data

Viscosity Building While Improving Stability: Vegelatum® ingredients are particularly well suited for building viscosity in anhydrous systems, such as lip balms and lipsticks, while increasing the melting point of the formula. Significant cost savings can be realized using Vegelatum® to replace or reduce expensive natural waxes in various formulations.

Functional Replacement of Petrolatum
