What is White Petroleum Jelly?
Also called petrolatum or soft paraffin, White Petroleum Jelly is a solid, gel-like substance made of hydrocarbons. It can be spread over a surface but maintains its shape like a solid. It will not mix with water, so when spread on the skin it cannot be rinsed off by water at room temperature. However, it has a low melting point and can be washed away with hot water. These unique properties give it a variety of uses in skin care products, cosmetics, and medicines, which require ease of application with long-term durability.
White Petroleum Jelly is approved by the FDA as a stand-alone non-prescription skin protectant. In this capacity, White Petroleum Jelly is used to provide a barrier over the skin to help heal minor cuts, burns, scrapes, insect bites, and sunburns, as well as to help heal or prevent dry skin, eczema, rash, diaper rash, psoriasis, and other skin conditions.
White Petroleum Jelly is also used as a home remedy for a variety of conditions, including chest colds, fungal infections, and nosebleeds. In sports and other activities, White Petroleum Jelly is used as a skin protectant to lubricate the skin and prevent chafing. White Petroleum Jelly is sometimes used as a sunblock to prevent sunburn.
Because of its unique physical properties, White Petroleum Jelly is also a widely-used ingredient in skincare products, moisturizers, lip balms, cosmetics, topical medicines, and wound care products.
