Green runs in the family: natural petrolatum alternatives by KahlWax - Organic, veggie, vegan Kahl VegoJelly 7036 Plus, Kahl OrganicJelly 7236, Kahl Natural Jelly 7235

For more than 150 years petrolatum has been a widely-used multitasker in the cosmetic industry. However, more and more consumers are actively avoiding petrochemicals in their body care products. KahlWax delivers various “green” products which are tailor-made for these demands: Kahl VegoJelly 7036 Plus, Kahl OrganicJelly 7236 and Kahl Natural Jelly 7235 are all premium quality petrolatum alternatives which are a perfect choice for discerning consumers, for nature oriented companies – and which benefit the environment.

Kahl VegoJelly 7036 Plus is a fully vegan, plant based alternative to classic petroleum jellies (petrolatum or Vaseline) for all skin and hair care products: it is based on Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Rhus Verniciflua Peel Cera / Rhus Succedanea Fruit Cera, Ascorbyl Palmitate and Tocopherol. Kahl VegoJelly 7036 Plus is semi-transparent, temperature and light stable, easy to emulsify and shows very good compatibility with polar emollients; its homogeneity prevents oil bleeding. Kahl VegoJelly 7036 Plus is typically used in lip balms, and in hair care applications.
