Pharmaceutical grade, it is even used as a laxative. Perfectly safe.

As a person who suffered surgery grade hemorroids at the age of 22, I'll
debate "Perfectly safe" all day long. There are definite downsides to
ingesting any "laxitive", but especially a ....again I say!....
PETROLEUM-based one.

I would be more than willing to talk about and give advice on a subject that
was the bane of my life for almost ten years. I've not suffered 'em since
and can speak with some authority on how and why they are no longer an
issue. I would be more than happy to help anyone avoid suffering the same
grief I did. Kinda blunt and crass, I know, but if you've been so plagued,
screw politeness. Knowledge rocks!! I'll share.
