Jagrolatum
Looking for a plant-based, non-comedogenic and natural emollient that delivers smooth texture, stability, and moisturising performance without using petroleum?
Jagrolatum is the next-generation petrolatum alternative designed for modern personal-care and cosmetic formulations, as well as industrial and functional applications such as wax blends, cleaning products, and lubricants.
This vegan, bio-based ingredient is derived from modified castor oil and offers a white, translucent paste with excellent skin compatibility, gloss, and pigment-wetting properties.
Unlike traditional petrolatum, Jagrolatum does not yellow and remains stable across a wide range of lip balm formulations, creams, anhydrous systems, and technical applications.
