Petroleum jelly pricing in 2024 depends on grade, color tier, packaging format and order volume, not one published figure. BHD Group supplies petroleum jelly within its waxes range, and buyers should compare quotes using ASTM and ISO consistency standards, HS code classification, and clear per-unit breakdowns rather than a single headline price.
Buyers searching "2024 vazelin fiyatları" want a straight answer: petroleum jelly pricing depends on grade, color tier and order size, not on a single published number. BHD Group sells petroleum jelly as part of its waxes range, and this guide walks procurement teams through the standards, grade differences and order factors that actually move price. No numeric BHD price is published here — use it to ask the right questions before you request a quote.
Who this 2024 Vazelin Fiyatları guide is for
This 2024 vazelin fiyatları review is written for three buyers. Cosmetics and personal care formulators need a consistent base for creams and balms. Candle makers and wax distributors want clarity on white versus yellow tiers for container and blended candles. Import-export and procurement teams need to understand HS classification and quality standards before they negotiate. Each section below speaks to one of these readers directly.
What "vazelin" means in trade terms
Petroleum jelly, or vazelin, is a purified semisolid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum, and it may contain a suitable antioxidant (United States Pharmacopeia, 2024). It sits inside the waxes family alongside paraffin wax and slack wax, and its trade classification runs through HS code 271210 (International Trade Administration, undated).
For cosmetics and personal care formulators
Cosmetics and personal care buyers use petroleum jelly to make creams and balms, a confirmed application of the waxes family. Formulators should ask suppliers for consistency and firmness data rather than relying on grade names alone. ASTM D937 measures cone penetration, the firmness of a petrolatum, and is useful for selecting or specifying which grade fits your formulation (ASTM International, undated).
For candle makers and wax distributors
The waxes family also serves the candles industry, where pillar candles are a confirmed application. Buyers in this lane search White, Snow White and Super Snow White tiers, alongside grades like PJ 'Ultra Snow White' (BP-2017, 0.5Y). These distinctions sit alongside economy and utility candle waxes, grave, church and mourning candle waxes, container candle waxes, slack-wax blending stock, packaging wax and textile-yarn paraffin — the working vocabulary of this market. Ask which tier a quoted price actually covers before comparing numbers.
2024 vazelin fiyatları comparison: white vs. yellow
White and yellow petroleum jelly differ in refining stage and appearance, and each serves different end uses. A direct BHD price comparison is not published here, since no approved figure exists for either grade. What buyers can compare, reliably, is the standard each grade is checked against.
| Standard | What it measures | Why a buyer checks it |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM D937 | Cone penetration (firmness/consistency) | Confirms the grade matches your formulation or blending need (ASTM International, undated) |
| ASTM D127 | Drop melting point of petroleum wax, including petrolatum | Confirms thermal behavior for processing and storage (ASTM International, undated) |
| ASTM D938 | Congealing point of petroleum waxes, including petrolatum | Confirms set behavior for candle and blending applications (ASTM International, undated) |
| ISO cone penetration standard | Consistency of lubricating greases and petrolatum | Provides an internationally reviewed reference point, last confirmed current in 2025 (ISO, undated) |
How Vaseline prices vary per kilogram and per barrel
Per-kilogram and per-barrel pricing both exist in this market, and the two are not directly interchangeable without knowing barrel weight and packaging cost. BHD has no approved per-unit figure to publish here. When you request a 2024 vazelin fiyatları quote, ask the supplier to break the price down by unit, by grade, and by packaging format, so you can compare quotations on equal terms.
What drives 2024 vazelin fiyatları pricing
Several factors move petroleum jelly pricing, independent of any single supplier's list. Grade and color tier is one: White, Snow White and Super Snow White command different processing routes than standard yellow. Order volume and packaging format is another, since barrel, drum and bulk pricing structures differ. Trade classification and customs handling also matter — HS codes are used throughout the import and export process to classify goods (International Trade Administration, undated), and laboratory verification, such as CBP's Chapter 27 methods, can affect clearance timing (U.S. Customs and Border Protection, undated). Regulatory timing is a newer factor: a harmonized USP standard for white petrolatum was approved but its official date was delayed twelve months, to August 1, 2026 (United States Pharmacopeia, 2024), which some formulators are already factoring into 2024-2025 sourcing plans.
Global trade context: who moves the most petroleum jelly
Trade volume shapes global pricing pressure. In 2024, the top petroleum jelly exporters by value were India, the European Union, Germany, the United States and the Netherlands, with India alone shipping over 60 million kilograms (World Bank WITS/UN Comtrade, 2024). This scale of trade means regional supply shifts can move pricing faster than any single buyer's order.
What to check before you order
- Confirm the exact grade and color tier — White, Snow White, Super Snow White or standard yellow
- Ask for cone penetration data referenced to ASTM D937
- Ask for melting and congealing point data referenced to ASTM D127 and ASTM D938
- Confirm the HS code used for customs classification
- Request pricing broken out by kilogram, drum and bulk/barrel format
- Clarify lead time and origin, since BHD Group supplies from Turkish-origin sourcing
- Ask whether the quote covers formulation-grade or candle-grade material — the two are not interchangeable
- Confirm minimum order volume before comparing per-unit prices across suppliers
Quick facts
- Petroleum jelly is a purified semisolid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum (USP, 2024)
- ASTM D937 measures cone penetration, the standard test for petrolatum firmness
- A harmonized USP white petrolatum standard becomes official August 1, 2026, delayed from an earlier date
- India was the largest petroleum jelly exporter by volume in 2024, at over 60 million kilograms
- Petroleum jelly and paraffin wax both trade within the waxes family that BHD Group supplies
How to get the best price for bulk Vaseline purchases
Bulk buyers get the clearest 2024 vazelin fiyatları pricing when they specify grade, volume and packaging in the same request. Comparing quotes without that detail invites a 2024 vazelin fiyatları vs. mismatch — one supplier's barrel price against another's per-kilogram price. A precise, on-spec request also lets a supplier confirm delivery timing without over-promising it.
