“…Polyaminopropyl biguanide, included 8 times across products in this study, is a biocide included in contact lens solutions, wet wipes, and cleansers; it has several documented cases of causing allergic contact dermatitis and may also cross-react with other antiseptics (eg, chlorhexidine) 47–49 . There are isolated case reports of mineral oil, petrolatum, and chlorobutanol causing allergic contact dermatitis 50–52 …”

BackgroundOphthalmic products are a common but often overlooked contributor to allergic contact dermatitis. Frequency of allergenic ingredients in over-the-counter ophthalmic products has not been well characterized.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of allergenic ingredients in most commonly bought eye lubricants and contact lens solutions.MethodsA product list of Amazon.com's best-selling ophthalmic products was curated by searching for “Best Sellers in Eye Drops, Lubricants & Washes” and “Best Sellers in Contact Lens Care Products.” For exploratory analysis, indication, price, consumer ratings, number of reviews, and US Food and Drug Administration approval status were recorded. The products' ingredients were compiled using NLM DailyMed, and products that had 1 or more allergens or relevant cross-reactors on either the 2018 American Contact Dermatitis Society Core Allergen Series or the 2015–2016 North American Contact Dermatitis Group Standard Allergen Series were noted.ResultsForty-eight percent (n = 49) of the total products, (57.8% [n = 37] of eye lubricants, and 31.6% [n = 12] of contact lens solutions) had 1 or more allergens or associated cross-reactors. Identified allergens were benzalkonium chloride, propylene glycol, sorbic acid, amidoamine, sorbitan sesquioleate, chlorhexidine digluconate, lanolin alcohol, parabens, benzyl alcohol, and butylated hydroxytoluene.ConclusionsAwareness of potential allergens is crucial to diagnosing allergic contact dermatitis to ophthalmic products and helping patients navigate online pharmacological chaos.

“…A total of 14 cases in million fold petroleum jelly daily uses were found in recent literature. Dooms‐Goossens reported four cases between 1980 and 1983 of positive allergic reactions to two yellow petroleum jellies , Lawrence reported one case in 1982 of a positive reaction to white petroleum jelly and one of two yellow petroleum jellies , Ayadi reported one case in 1987 of allergic reaction to white petroleum jelly , Fisher reported one case in 1981 of allergic reactions to yellow and white petroleum jelly , Malten reported one case in 1969 to yellow petroleum jelly , Grimalt reported one case in 1978 to yellow and white petroleum jelly , Maibach reported one case in 1978 with hyperpigmentation , Conti reported one case in 1995 of a positive reaction to four white petroleum jellies , Maibach reported one case of allergy to white petroleum jellies in 1999 , Kundu reported one case in 2004 , and Tam reported one case in 2006 of allergic reactions of damaged skin to white petroleum jelly . In most cases, allergic reactions are to less highly purified ‘yellow petroleum jelly’.…”

This article is an introduction and general discussion regarding the use of Fisher-Tropsch wax in petroleum jelly applications. Traditionally, petroleum jelly is prepared from a blend of microwax, paraffin wax and mineral oil that are all derived from crude oil. Sasol Wax has successfully prepared a petroleum jelly based on predominantly to fully synthetic Fisher-Tropsch wax. Sasol Wax was awarded a patent P53898ZP00-29 November 11 for a predominantly to fully synthetic petroleum jelly based on Fisher-Tropsch wax blends. The benefits of Fisher-Tropsch wax discussed in this article include the absence of aromatic compounds and polycyclic aromatic compounds in Fisher-Tropsch wax as well as the sustainable production that is possible with Fisher-Tropsch wax, as opposed to paraffin wax that may be affected by the closure of group I Base Oil plants. This article will be the first in a series of articles from the same authors, and follow-up articles will include solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and crystallization studies to determine the influence of predominantly synthetic waxes on petroleum jelly network structures compared with more traditional mineral oil-derived petroleum jellies, final product performance and stability of synthetic petroleum jelly used in, for example, personal care lotions or creams. The influence of oxygenated compounds and product safety and rheological properties (including primary skin feel upon application and secondary skin feel after application) of synthetic petroleum jellies compared with traditional mineral oil-derived petroleum jellies are discussed.

“…Although it was not possible to demonstrate sensitizing properties of white petrolatum in animal tests (7), different compounds of white petrolatum may still have sensitizing properties depending on its source and the purification process as required by a certain pharmacopoeia (2, 8). Moreover, rare cases in humans after patch testing were reported in the literature (8–10), occasionally combined with reactions to yellow petrolatum (11–14). The chemical nature, properties and various reactions to petrolatum were briefly reviewed by Fisher (15).…”
