Description White petrolatum, as a pharmaceutical excipient, is primarily utilized for its emollient and occlusive properties. It serves as a base in ointments and topical formulations, creating a barrier on the skin that helps retain moisture and facilitates the delivery of active ingredients through the dermal layer. Its inert nature and high melting point make it suitable for stabilizing formulations without reacting with other components. Additionally, white petrolatum is used to protect and soothe the skin, providing relief in conditions like dryness and irritation by forming a protective barrier. Its non-comedogenic properties and hypoallergenic profile make it an ideal choice for a wide range of pharmaceutical applications.
