DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Dedorized Kerosene (the odorless kerosene) is used in cosmetic preparations. The substance acts as a solvent.

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

Kerosenes (kerosene) is a petroleum product obtained during the distillation of crude oil. It is widely used in technical areas and in households (e.g. as fuel for jet jets). The toxicity of kerosenes is undisputed.

Since kerosenes in their original state have a considerable, unpleasant inherent odour due to sulphur-containing admixtures, several methods have been developed to "deodorise" kerosenes. These include extraction methods using paraffin or activated carbon.

Kerosenes should not be used as a petroleum product in natural cosmetics.
