The invention provides pre-blended mixtures of specific hydrocarbon liquids of defined viscosity structured with high melting point materials such as waxes. The pre-blend provides occlusivity (moisture retention) to the skin which is comparable to that provided by petrolatum alone. As such, these pre-blends are intended as potential substitutes for the use of petrolatum in cosmetic compositions.Linvention concerne des mélanges pré-mélangés de liquides hydrocarbonés spécifiques à viscosité définie, structurés à laide de matières à point de fusion élevé.
