Petrolatum substitution preparation

A method of manufacturing a petrolatum substitute preparation comprising:

• 1-20 wt % of at least one oil thickening agent comprising at least one hydrocarbon from shea butter,
• 7-40 wt % of at least one structuring agent,
• 0.5-10 wt % of at least one phytosterol or ester thereof, and
• 30-92 wt % of at least one emollient, and
• a melting point of at least 35° C.,
• the method comprising the steps of mixing the ingredients and further comprising interesterification.
