Paraffin is widely applied in life, medicine and cosmetology. Such properties of paraffin as low melting temperature and high thermal capacity, allow to carry out with it different types of treatment, warmings up and also to look after skin. Normal paraffin, as a rule, is in firm phase therefore before use substance is required to be melted.
