Vaseline

Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly, is a semi-solid mixture made from natural petroleum. It creates a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Commonly used to soothe dry or chapped skin, it can also protect minor cuts and burns from dirt and infection. Vaseline is gentle, widely accepted for skincare, and effective for sealing in hydration. Its versatility extends to preventing chafing, softening rough skin, and even protecting lips. Because it forms a barrier without being greasy or heavy, it’s a popular choice for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.
