Marcus,

Dorland's is the brand - and it is a painting medium. It is a creamy wax and resin mixture. There are a lot of artists out there who use this with paint and achieve some really interesting effects. I do not know how they do this exactly though. This was my first time using it on advice from others. What it did for me was dull down the shine on the Retouch. Apparently if I were to buff the painting with a soft cloth now it would become shiny - just like waxing a car perhaps? But if left alone it is nice and matte.

Perhaps another artist more informed can explain how it is used as a medium with paints? Virgil?
