Ozocerite - Introduction
Ozokerite wax is a common paraffin, mainly composed of hydrocarbons. Its nature is stable, showing a solid, colorless or slightly yellow appearance. It has a low melting point and good ductility, and can be heated to a liquid state.

In the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, ozokerite is often used to make products such as plasters, creams and lipsticks. In addition, ozokerite is also used as fuel, such as candle making.
wax preparation method there are two main methods. One is refined from crude oil, after distillation, cooling and solidification steps to obtain wax. The other is obtained by distillation of petroleum coal tar or separation from natural gas.
