Vaseline (white, yellow) (CAS 8009-03-8)
Vaseline (white, yellow) (CAS 8009-03-8)
Vaseline (Latin Vaselinum, Paraffinum unguinosum, Petrolatum) is an odorless and tasteless buttery white liquid. With incomplete cleaning, the color changes from black to yellow, with complete cleaning – to translucent. Consists of a mixture of mineral oil and hard paraffins. Melting point 27-60 ° C, viscosity 28-36 mm² / s at 50 ° C. Let’s dissolve in ether and chloroform, insoluble in water and alcohol, miscible with any oils except castor oil. Obtained from vacuum distillate oil fractions by thickening with petrolatum, paraffin and ceresin. Does not saponify with alkali solutions, does not oxidize, does not turn rancid in air.
Versenic Acid (CAS 60-00-4)
Versenic Acid (CAS 60-00-4)
Versenic Acid is a specialized raw material for the cosmetics industry. It is used, among others in shampoos, creams, lip glosses, tanning products and shower gels. Serves as a consistency stabilizer improving viscosity and giving the right consistency. It is also a preservative aimed at preventing changes in the consistency, appearance and smell of cosmetics. In high concentration, it is irritating to the mucosa and skin.
Vitamin A (CAS 79-81-2)
Vitamin A (CAS 79-81-2)
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin and an essential nutrient for humans. It is a group of organic compounds that includes retinol, retinal, (also known as retinaldehyde), retinoic acid, and several provitamin A carotenoids (most notably beta-carotene (β-carotene). Vitamin A has multiple functions: it is essential for embryo development and growth, for maintenance of the immune system, and for vision, where it combines with the protein opsin to form rhodopsin – the light-absorbing molecule necessary for both low-light (scotopic vision) and color vision.

Vitamin B1 (CAS 532-43-4)
Vitamin B1 (CAS 532-43-4)
Thiamine nitrate is the thiamine salt formed from one mole of thiamine base and one mole of nitric acid. It occurs as an anhydrous crystalline solid of low hygroscopicity. Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a member of the vitamin B complex. Attributing to low hydroscopicity, thiamine nitrate works as a more stable form of thiamine in pharmaceutical preparations.Thiamine nitrate is preferred to be used for the preparation of multivitamins and as a food fortification in dry blends and dry products such as in wheat flour.
Vitamin B12 (CAS 68-19-9)
Vitamin B12 (CAS 68-19-9)
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in metabolism. It is one of eight B vitamins. It is a cofactor in DNA synthesis, in both fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. It is important in the normal functioning of the nervous system via its role in the synthesis of myelin, and in the maturation of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
The most common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency in developed countries is impaired absorption due to a loss of gastric intrinsic factor (IF) which must be bound to a food-source of B12 in order for absorption to occur. A second major cause is age-related decline in stomach acid production (achlorhydria), because acid exposure frees protein-bound vitamin. For the same reason, people on long-term antacid therapy, using proton-pump inhibitors, H2 blockers or other antacids are at increased risk. Deficiency may be characterized by limb neuropathy or a blood disorder called pernicious anemia, a type of megaloblastic anemia. Folate levels in the individual may affect the course of pathological changes and symptomatology of vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin E (CAS 58-95-7)
Vitamin E (CAS 58-95-7)
Vitamin E is a group of eight fat soluble compounds that include four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Vitamin E deficiency, which is rare and usually due to an underlying problem with digesting dietary fat rather than from a diet low in vitamin E, can cause nerve problems. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant which may help protect cell membranes from reactive oxygen species.
