    Glossary Petroleum Jelly

    semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons used for skin protection

    Petroleum jelly, also known as Vaseline, is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. It is commonly used as a moisturizer to treat dry skin, minor cuts, and burns due to its ability to form a protective barrier that locks in moisture. Its occlusive properties make it useful in various medical and cosmetic applications, including as a base for ointments and in hair care to reduce frizz and add shine.
