Paraffin Free Analysis in Cosmetic Products

Paraffin obtained from petroleum and similar substances is used in pharmaceutical, textile and cosmetic products. The reasons for the use of paraffin in cosmetic products can be listed as follows:

• The use of paraffin increases the water resistance of the cosmetic product
• Having an effect on the healthy appearance of the skin
• Ensuring that moisture is trapped in the skin
• Protection of skin against drying and cracking
• Permanent effect in make-up materials

Apart from the positive aspects mentioned above, the reason why the use of paraffin is not desired is positive effects on the skin, but the use of lipstick, lip care products and oral intake may cause some health problems. Long-term ingestion of paraffin by mouth can be harmful to the liver, heart and kidneys.

For this reason, consumers may not prefer paraffin-containing cosmetic products, even if they are not harmful to the skin. You can contact Nanolab Cosmetic Analysis Laboratory for Paraffin Analysis in Cosmetic Products.
