White Vaseline Ph. Eur. (Vaselinum album)
White Vaseline is a versatile all-rounder and is used primarily as a protective film on the skin. It forms a barrier that helps retain existing moisture and protects the skin from external influences. Our Vaseline is manufactured in Germany, meets the pharmaceutical standard according to the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and can be used in cosmetics under the INCI designation PETROLATUM. It is highly purified, has a melting range of 38–58 °C and has an ointment-like consistency at room temperature. This makes it an excellent base for numerous cream-like formulations.
Uses in cosmetics
- For dry skin and chapped lips: Ideal for rough elbows, knees, cuticles or dry lips. It helps retain moisture and supports a supple skin feel.
- As protection against friction: Protects sensitive areas of skin during sport, such as jogging or cycling, from friction and chafing.
- In cold and windy conditions: A thin layer can help protect the skin on frosty days from cold, wind and damp.
- For stressed areas of skin: Keeps small grazes or sore nostrils supple and provides a pleasant skin feel.
- As an ointment base: Very well tolerated, as it is free from fragrances and plant-based allergens. It is also chemically stable and has an especially long shelf life.
- For tattooing: It is often used as a lubricant and can help keep the skin supple during tattooing.
What to note about Vaseline: Vaseline does not itself provide moisture, but helps retain existing moisture in the skin. The occlusive film may be unsuitable for fresh, weeping wounds or acute acne, as moisture can become trapped.
Technical applications

- Protection against moisture on cable terminals, connection fittings, as well as plug and screw connections
- Lubricant for locks and fittings

The ever-increasing importance of paraffins and waxes in the overall H&R Group product portfolio led to the founding of the H&R Wax Company GmbH in May 2000. Today H&R Wax & Specialties oversees all sales and service activities.
The site producing more than 80 different paraffin qualities is the oldest (1860) productive and, at the same time, state of the art plant, H&R ChemPharm, Salzbergen. Consistently high quality standards and a variety of specialities substantiate the outstanding reputation of the refinery.
The quality of the H&R paraffins is based on a special production method: the slack waxes that occur during the de-paraffinisation of the basic oils are processed into high-quality paraffins through further de-oiling and environmentally friendly high-pressure hydration. These full raffinates correspond to the strict purity requirements of Ph.Eur., FDA and the German health authority (BGA). The portfolio is expanded with our technical qualities from our H&R Ölwerke Schindler, Hamburg refinery.
The various paraffin qualities are implemented in many sectors of the industry: candle industry, chipboard industry, chemical industry, ceresin industry, packaging industry, textiles industry, medicine and pharmacy and many others.
