Well protected on cold days: Plant-based care with Cremerlin®PURA

27.01.2026

In winter, our skin needs special care – cold, wind, and dry indoor heating air can be tough on the face, hands, and lips. That’s why products that offer reliable protection and provide the skin with rich care and moisture are in high demand.

For these applications, CREMER OLEO offers a special cream base: Cremerlin®PURA is a plant-based alternative to petrolatum (Vaseline), ideal for protective and re-fatting formulations – whether in lip balms, face and foot creams, or mother-and-baby products with particularly high standards.

Christina John, Senior Product Manager Soap & Care at CREMER OLEO, has worked with the product for many years. In this interview, she explains why Cremerlin®PURA is a true all-rounder for cosmetic manufacturers.

Christina, what exactly is Cremerlin®PURA?

Cremerlin®PURA is a plant-based base for creams, lotions, and lip care products that offers properties similar to petrolatum. It is produced in Germany and made entirely from renewable, plant-based raw materials using a specially patented process. This results in a unique texture and excellent stability. Our customers consistently give very positive feedback on Cremerlin®PURA for years – especially when it comes to processing, color and long-term stability.

Why is Cremerlin®PURA particularly suitable for winter skin care products?

Because it’s gentle on the skin and long-lasting. And despite being rich, it leaves a light, pleasant skin feel. Our customers use Cremerlin®PURA in re-fatting creams or lip care products, anywhere long-lasting protection is needed. It’s also popular in foot creams or intensive night care products. Since it is food-grade compliant, it is especially suitable for baby care, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
