You’ve probably used petroleum jelly at some point — whether to soothe dry skin, protect a cut, or even as a beauty hack. But have you ever wondered what it’s actually made of?

At Faragam Paraffin, we’re passionate about making top-quality paraffin products, including petroleum jelly. So let’s break it down in simple terms.

So, What Exactly Is Petroleum Jelly?

Petroleum jelly is a soft, jelly-like substance made from natural oil. It’s been around for over a century and is loved for being gentle, effective, and super versatile.

People use it for:

• Moisturizing dry or cracked skin

• Creating a barrier to lock in moisture

• Protecting minor cuts and burns

• And even in some cosmetics

What Goes Into Making Petroleum Jelly?

It all starts deep underground with crude oil—a natural, raw oil packed with hydrocarbons (which are just molecules made from hydrogen and carbon).

Here’s the simple process:

1. Extraction: Crude oil is pulled from the earth.

2. Refining: At the refinery, the crude oil is heated and separated into different parts. The heavier parts are collected to create things like lubricating oils, waxes, and yes—petroleum jelly.

3. Purification: This part is super important. The jelly is carefully cleaned and filtered to remove any impurities, making it safe, odorless, and colorless. At Faragam Paraffin, we triple-refine our jelly to make sure it’s top quality.

4. Blending (sometimes): A little mineral oil might be mixed in to get the right texture, but it’s still mainly purified hydrocarbons.

Is It Safe for You?

Definitely! When made correctly, petroleum jelly is safe for everyday use. It doesn’t clog your pores and is great even for sensitive skin. Just remember: quality matters. Low-grade petroleum jelly might have impurities, but our Faragam Paraffin products are made with your safety and satisfaction in mind.

Why Trust Faragam Paraffin?

Because we care about quality. Every batch of petroleum jelly we produce is carefully refined and tested. We offer products in different grades depending on what you need—whether for cosmetics, medical use, or industrial purposes.
