- 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 and flaxseed oil based
- Rich in Omega-3; gel
- Enhanced stability compared to flaxseed alone
- 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
