Description
Paraffin is a purified form of mineral oil or wax obtained from petroleum. Its main purpose is to create a protective film on the surface of the skin, which retains moisture and prevents it from evaporating. Thanks to these properties, paraffin effectively softens dry, cracked skin, protects against external irritants, and is used in products for hands, feet, lips, as well as in lipid-restoring creams. In addition, it adds a pleasant texture to products and increases their durability.
