What is Silkolene 775
Silkolene 775 is a refined Yellow Soft Paraffin manufactured to meet British Pharmacopoeia (BP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) standards, ensuring consistent quality and purity for use in cosmetic and personal care formulations. This semi-solid hydrocarbon blend is widely recognised for its excellent emollient properties, forming a protective barrier on the skin that helps to reduce moisture loss and improve hydration.
Its smooth texture and inert nature make it ideal for topical applications, particularly in formulations intended for sensitive or dry skin. Silkolene 775 is non-reactive and highly stable, allowing it to perform reliably across a wide range of formulations. It is commonly used as a base or carrier in creams, ointments, and balms, where it enhances product consistency, spreadability, and overall user experience.
