Description
Petroleum Jelly, also known as White Petrolatum, is a highly refined, semi-solid mixture of purified hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations as an occlusive moisturizer and skin protectant. Petroleum jelly forms a protective barrier on the skin that helps prevent moisture loss, promotes skin healing, and protects against environmental irritants. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical grades are highly purified to meet strict safety and purity standards.
