Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of paraffin and microcrystalline wax and mineral oil that is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an approved over-the-counter skin protectant for topical aplications. In lotions and topical ointments it acts as an occlusive moisturizer that forms a sealant to lock water into the skin, preventing dryness. It can also resolve dryness by preventing further water loss from the skin, allowing the skin to repair itself from within. As an occlusive, it can help seal skin breakage-preventing bacteria or impurities from entering the wound and allowing the body's natural healing properties to work without interruption. It is also know as white petrolatum or soft paraffin.
