Personal care and pharmaceutical formulators often choose Sonneborn petrolatum products for their formulation base. These products add lubricity, emolliency and moisture resistance in various products.
These petrolatums are odorless, tasteless, homogeneous mixtures of oily and waxy long-chain, nonpolar hydrocarbons. These products range in color from white to yellow and differ from one another in gloss, consistency, shear strength and crystallinity as well as in sensory attributes including slip, cushion, playtime and spreadability — all important in personal care applications.
Sonneborn products meet U.S. FDA requirements and are Vegan certified. Food processors rely on them for uses that range from baking and candy-making to packaging. In container candles, the addition of petrolatum affects the crystallinity of the waxes to give a smoother, more pleasing appearance. For industrial applications, such as metal polishes and buffing compounds, petrolatums protect against moisture and corrosion.
