Vaseline Petroleum Jelly 50g (No.1)

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly No 1 (50g)

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that has a melting point just above body temperature. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly melts into skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly serves two functions: First it helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. Second, it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from within the skin.
