1
What it does: Emollient
Community Rating: Disliked

Petrolatum is more commonly known as petroleum jelly. It is created by mixing waxes and mineral oils.

This ingredient is effective at reducing water loss by 99%. This is because it is an occlusive. Occlusives create a hydrophobic barrier on the skin to prevent evaporation. This property makes it great for hydrating dry skin.

Pro tip: Use occlusives, such as this ingredient, on damp skin for the best results.

The quality or origin of petrolatum is only known when disclosed by the brand. Most cosmetic petrolatum has gone through several purification stages.

Another benefit of occlusives is it protects your skin against infection or allergies.

Petrolatum may not be safe for fungal-acne. Studies show mineral oil / petroleum leads to the growth of M. Furfur, a type of yeast.

Paraffinum Liquidum does not irritate the skin and is non-comedogenic. However, this ingredient may not work well for those with oily skin or fungal acne.

Got rid of my extremely dry lips!
Before using this product, my lips were extremely dry. To the point of having big scabs and them being dry too so they broke and bled. I bought this lip balm and put it on immediately (it was in the morning). At nighttime I noticed I still had some of it on, and the scabs started to come off! They peeled off right away, it was a miracle. It's currently day 3 and although my lips still have some damage, I can notice them healing. The lip balm itself has a minty scent, doesn't feel light or heavy (just right), doesn't have a flavor (no weird aftertaste!) and gives the lips a little bit of a tingling sensation. It's not annoying, I find it soothing. Definitely will buy again once I run out! ❤️
