Paraffin – Solid

Paraffin was first obtained from wood tar by Carl Reichenbach in 1829; later from bituminous layers; and after 1867, from petroleum. In 1947, synthetic paraffin wax was also produced.
It consists of saturated hydrocarbons.

It is commonly used to soften cuticles on hands and feet, as well as in spa treatments, because it is colorless, tasteless, and odorless.
It can also be applied to aching joints and muscles for pain relief.
Paraffin wax has many other uses as well.
It is frequently used for lubrication, electrical insulation, and making candles and crayons.
Cosmetically, paraffin wax is mostly applied to hands and feet.
Beeswax is a natural emollient agent that helps make the skin flexible and soft.
When applied to the skin, it replenishes moisture and continues to increase the skin’s moisture levels after the treatment is complete.
It can also help open pores and cleanse dead skin cells.
This leaves the skin looking fresher and feeling smoother.
