Storage Temp Petrolatum is an inherently stable material owing to the unreactive
nature of its hydrocarbon components; most stability problems
occur because of the presence of small quantities of impurities. On
exposure to light, these impurities may be oxidized to discolor the
petrolatum and produce an undesirable odor. The extent of the
oxidation varies depending upon the source of the petrolatum and
the degree of refinement. Oxidation may be inhibited by the
inclusion of a suitable antioxidant such as bu
