“…ACD to petrolatum is very rare and should be suspected in patients with skin reaction to topical products and positive patch test to all the allergens in petrolatum and to petrolatum as is. [1][2][3][4][5] Some processing impurities such as phenantrene derivatives with molecular weight of 230 and 244 g/mol have been reported as possible allergens in white petrolatum. 2,4 However, in our sample used for patch testing no such…”

“…Oxygen supply equipment displays a warning not to use near "oil-based products"; since petrolatum is obtained from refining petroleum, it is wrongly considered flammable. 52 Anyway, it should not be utilized in the setting of supplemental oxygen and avoid direct contact with a flame: it can serve as a fire accelerant allowing for faster ignition time and spread of flames.…”

Italian high school students carried out some activities within career guidance actions organized by the Department of Chemistry of Sapienza University (Rome) in order to promote enrollments in a chemistry Bachelor’s course, thus remedying the shortage of professional chemists. Novel didactic sequences have been designed to facilitate the connection between the physics of foam, the chemistry of chelating agents (such as citric acid and EDTA), and possible related environmental issues due to their widespread presence in everyday products. Detailed students’ worksheets and laboratory instructions inspired by a guided inquiry-based approach have been provided, in order to stimulate students in testing a hypothesis and consulting scientific literature. Moreover, other nonexperimental activities helped students in developing a mature vision of chemistry, attentive to human health and environmental protection.

“…Notably, the Food and Drug Administration does not impose any limits on the concentration of PAH in cosmetic products. [9] The organogel technique has emerged as a new and popular approach to oil structuring, especially in recent decades. In the literature, the organogel technique has been predominantly proposed for producing alternative products to table spreads, shortening, butter, and margarine.…”

In this study, three different oil (black seed, St. John's Wort, and grape seed oils [GSO]) oleogels, which are especially used in complementary medicine, were produced with natural waxes (sunflower and beeswax [BW]). The physicochemical, textural, thermal, and structural features and volatile composition of the oleogels were determined and compared with commercial petrolatum gels (control sample). The sunflower and BW gels had a higher melting point than the petrolatum gels. Particularly, the firmness values of the fresh sunflower and BW oleogels were close to the petrolatum gels, except for the BW‐based St John's Wort and GSO gels. The firmness and stickiness values of the oleogels and the control samples increased in relation to the storage period. The increase in firmness value was less in the sunflower wax than in the BW and control samples. All sunflower, BW and petrolatum gels exhibited the β′ form. Volatile component data showed that different waxes have different volatile adsorption capacities. As a result, natural wax oleogels produced with various essential oils could be an alternative to similar products used in the cosmetics, pharmacology, and food supplement industries, which are already commercially available.Practical applications: (Oleogels have become a popular technique for structuring oils in recent years. In this way, oleogels are considered an alternative to solid fat such as margarine, butter, and shortening and an oil‐restricting agent against oil leakage in oil‐based foods. Consumers establish a close relationship between their own health and the foods they consume and the cosmetics they use. This situation has led to an increasing interest in natural products. Essential oils (EOs) are used in many fields, ranging from cosmetics to complementary medicine. In this context, essential oleogels produced with natural waxes were compared with the commercial products, revealing their potential for use in both cosmetic and food supplements. EO‐oleogels represent a new approach to the oleogel product range with high commercialization potential for related industries.)
