Versagel P Series are products that combine highly purified, USP-grade, white petrolatum with block copolymers to enhance the occlusivity that naturally accompanies all petrolatum products. Even though petrolatum is considered the best occlusive agent available, Penreco’s studies indicate that gelled petrolatum outperforms ungelled petrolatum in reducing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). These Versagel products also exhibit excellent thermal and UV stability, as well as a versatile chemical compatibility.

Penreco’s Versagel Technology is used in a wide range of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care products all over the world. The patented system for thickening and gelling hydrocarbon materials offers an infinite number of customized rheological properties.
