Vaseline Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Original 13 oz

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is a blend of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that, when blended, create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature.

The result: it literally melts into the skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it solidifies, locks into place. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly performs two functions: first, it helps keep the world outside - it protects the skin from the effects of weather and exposure.Secondly, it acts as a sealant to help keep the world inside - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin.

Thus, dry, chapped skin is protected from drying elements, which allows the skin's moisture to naturally accumulate inside the skin itself.
