Primary Properties
1. Apart from moisturizing and hydrating the skin, paraffinum liquidum also helps with skin itching. The protective layer or barrier that it forms has the potential to fight against environmental irritants.
2. Paraffinum liquidum acts as a film-forming agent that traps moisture on the shafts to make them shinier and healthier. This helps resolve a lot of hair problems such as tangling and hair loss.
3. Paraffinum liquidum provides a better texture to cosmetic products and aids spreadability. This ingredient makes the products more hydrating and prevents them from drying out.
