Example 4
A natural alternative to “Vaseline or petroleum ointment” is prepared using citronellol polymer according to the table below (percent value shown are w/w)
The natural alternative to “Vaseline or petroleum ointment” is prepared by heating a mixture of citronellol polymer and beeswax in a 50 mL glass beaker. The temperature is raised to 70-75° C. until the mixture become homogenous and clear. The composition is slowly cooled to ambient temperature to an opaque, gel-like ointment texture. The resulting mixture is soft and not heavy or overwhelming after application on skin compared to a commercial petroleum ointment.
The invention is further described in connection with the following examples which are set forth for the purpose of illustration only.
