Abstract
High molecular weight petroleum fractions which have a low white oil content are admixed with a volatile siloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and/or decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and a compound that is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic to provide an ointment base which enables these petrolatum fractions to be spread easily on the skin. Evaporation of the solvent leaves a high molecular weight petrolatum film on the skin that is nonirritating and yet highly resistant to mechanical removal.
