Paraffin is a white or colorless, soft, solid or liquid compound. It is obtained from saturated hydrocarbons. Since it is tasteless and odorless, it is frequently used as a skin softener and in SPA applications on hands, cuticles and feet. When applied to the skin, it increases moisture and continues to increase the skin's moisture level. It also helps to open pores and remove dead skin cells. In this way, the skin gains a fresher and smoother appearance.
Paraffin is completely natural and has a low melting point, it can be easily applied to the skin at a low temperature. However, paraffin wax can cause heat rashes on very sensitive skin. Paraffin wax (or petroleum wax) is a solid compound derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale, consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing twenty to forty carbon atoms. Paraffin is called paraffin wax if it is solid, and paraffin oil if it is liquid.
Apart from cosmetics and health, paraffin has various uses in industries such as medicine and agriculture. Paraffin is widely used as a fuel for jet engines and rockets, and as a fuel or fuel component for diesel and tractor engines. Before the invention of electricity, paraffin was used as the main lighting source in lamps and lanterns.
On the other hand, paraffin is used as fuel in portable stoves in outdoor activities and mountaineering sports. Liquid paraffin is used as a lubricant for machinery. Lubricants help prolong the life of machinery and equipment by reducing friction, adhesion and wear.
However, paraffin-free products are increasingly in demand. Some types of cheese are preserved with a layer of paraffin wax, and some types of jam have a paraffin coating. Although it seems harmless in daily life, paraffin also has many negative aspects. Therefore, some products are paraffin-free.
It has been determined that paraffin wax emissions cause lung disorders and impair air quality. Because it is inexpensive, it is a popular ingredient in makeup, skin, hair, and body products. Its dangers and adverse effects are not fully known.
