A study on of the application sculpture materials utilizing cosmetic ingredients(Petroleum Jelly, Micro-crystaline wax, Stearic acid)
ABSTRACT
This paper is studied about the sculpture materials made of petroleum jelly and micro-crystalline
wax which are used for cosmetic materials, utilizing their characteristics - less alteration than animal
oil, stability for oxidation, being solid at room temperature and high melting point.
It is proved that petroleum jelly and microcrystalline wax compensate the defects of elements of
endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as ordinary clay, rubber clay, color mix, and resin clay. It is
also guaranteed that they are available for sculpture materials which contain the cosmetic-like protective
effect on skin. After the materials containing petroleum jelly and microcrystalline wax are
applied to skin and the outcome is examined, the loss of trans-epidermal water of the skin was decreased
in the palm, back of the hand, and A, B, D formulations. The increase in the amount of
water and oil capacity of the skin was found in the same samples. PH levels of these materials remain
stable ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 on average in the palm, back of the hand, and A, B, D formulations,
and a primary skin irritation test on rabbit showed their non-irritating features.
Unlike the traditional carving materials having been used so far, these petroleum jelly and micro-
crystalline wax provide a high-quality protective effect on skin comparable to the cosmetics'.
They are found to be practical for sculpture materials as well as for people who have to be exposed
to this job due to their moisturizing characteristics and safety as cosmetic ingredients.
