Vaseline is used to protect and repair the skin.

Production Process Of Petroleum Jelly
The production of petroleum jelly involves several steps, including the refining and processing of crude oil.
Here’s an overview of the production process:
- Crude Oil Refining: Petroleum jelly is derived from crude oil. The first step is the refining of crude oil in a petroleum refinery. Crude oil is heated, and different components are separated based on their boiling points. During this process, a semi-solid substance known as “slack wax” is obtained.
- Deoiling: The slack wax obtained from crude oil refining contains a mixture of oil and wax. To separate the wax from the oil, the slack wax is mixed with a solvent, such as hexane. The wax dissolves in the solvent, while the oil remains separated.
- Filtering and Distillation: The solvent-wax mixture is then filtered to remove any impurities or solid particles. The solvent is distilled off from the wax to recover it for reuse in the process.
- Hydrogenation: The deoiled wax may undergo a hydrogenation process to remove any unsaturated hydrocarbons and make the product more stable. This involves exposing the wax to hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures and pressures.
- Cooling and Solidification: The purified wax is then cooled and allowed to solidify. It can be formed into blocks, slabs, or other shapes for packaging.
It’s important to note that the specific details of the production process may vary slightly from one manufacturer to another. Additionally, the quality and purity of the crude oil used can affect the quality of the final petroleum jelly product. Manufacturers typically adhere to strict quality control standards to produce a safe and effective product for various applications, including skincare.
