Occlusive Moisture Barrier & Skin Protectant
What is Petroleum Jelly?
Petroleum jelly is a highly refined semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons widely used in dermatological skincare for its strong occlusive and protective properties. It forms a protective barrier on the skin surface that helps prevent moisture loss and supports skin barrier function. It is commonly used in formulations designed for dry, compromised, or sensitive skin and is recognized for its role as a skin protectant in various regulatory frameworks.
