White Petroleum Jelly Description
White Petroleum Jelly is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons combined with specially selected waxes. This creates ointment-like gels that are nearly odorless and offer excellent hydrating properties. The gels have emollient characteristics and a consistent texture, which makes them ideal for formulating with other active ingredients.
Applications of Vaseline
This versatile Vaseline is used in many industries. It serves as a general-purpose, food-grade product, suitable for metal protection, machinery lubrication, and various pharmaceutical applications. It’s safe for incidental food contact without any harmful effects.
Benefits
White Vaseline is widely used in cosmetics and lotions due to its ability to moisturize and heal the skin. It provides protection against burns, injuries, and infections. For example, Red Veterinary Petroleum, a variation of White Vaseline, offers UV protection and works as a sunscreen.
It is particularly effective for treating dry skin, chapped lips, and cracked heels. By creating a protective barrier, it helps heal minor cuts and burns, preventing dirt and bacteria from entering. It also prevents diaper rash in babies by shielding the skin from wetness and irritation. Additionally, it protects against windburn and chafing. Furthermore, White Petroleum Jelly can remove makeup, including waterproof mascara, without causing irritation.
Features
As a stable emollient ointment, White Petroleum Jelly can be used alone or mixed with other products to protect sensitive skin wounds. It soothes and can act as a lubricant. Moreover, it’s ideal for wound and incontinence care. You can apply it alone as a skin protectant or as a base for other therapeutic creams. It’s free from rubber latex and comes in convenient tube and packet forms for easy application.
