"Paraffin Free" is a labeling claim indicating a product is formulated without paraffin (a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon often used as an emollient or occlusive). It is not an active ingredient but a descriptor of the formulation base.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No direct side effects from the absence of paraffin | Very rare | As a claim rather than an ingredient, it carries no inherent risk; any reactions stem from substitute emollients used instead. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
