Petroleum jelly is a versatile product that many people have in their homes, often used for all sorts of skin-related needs. Essentially, it’s a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, derived from petroleum. This thick, gooey substance is commonly used to moisturize dry skin, heal minor cuts, and even protect chapped lips. You might have seen it touted as a go-to for everything from diaper rash to makeup removal.
