Each 50ml jar holds 100% pure petroleum jelly, triple-purified into a clean, gentle white petrolatum that sits comfortably on the skin. This is the same classic Vaseline petroleum jelly trusted to help soften and protect dry, chapped and rough skin. Because it is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, it suits the whole family and is handy for the countless little jobs it does so well. The compact 50ml size is easy to keep in a bag or drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is petroleum jelly and how does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetroleum jelly – also called petrolatum or white soft paraffin – is a blend of mineral oils and waxes refined into a smooth, semi-solid jelly. People often ask whether petroleum jelly is the same as Vaseline, and the answer is yes: Vaseline is simply the best-known brand of pure petroleum jelly, and that is exactly what this jar contains. Rather than adding water, it acts as an occlusive, forming a sealing barrier over the surface that locks in the moisture already there and helps shield skin from the drying effects of wind and cold. By slowing the natural loss of water from the skin, it helps dry, tight or flaky areas feel softer and more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe many uses of Vaseline petroleum jelly\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew skincare products are as versatile, which is why petroleum jelly uses are searched so often. As a simple lip balm, a thin layer soothes and protects dry, chapped lips day and night. Dabbed onto stubborn dry patches, it helps soften rough elbows, knees, knuckles and cracked heels. In cold, blustery weather it provides a protective barrier for exposed cheeks, noses and hands. Beauty fans also use it to tame unruly eyebrows, smooth flyaway hairs, lift away stubborn make-up and condition dry cuticles and nails. With so many everyday uses, a single jar earns its place many times over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for and which skin types\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVaseline No1 Pure Petroleum Jelly is suitable for the whole family and a reassuring choice for anyone prone to dry or dehydrated skin. Its simple, fragrance-free and hypoallergenic formula makes it well suited to sensitive, easily irritated and eczema-prone skin that can react to perfumed products. People with very dry skin, cracked heels or rough hands often use petroleum jelly to help lock in moisture, especially after washing or overnight. A thin smear can also help protect a baby's skin in the nappy area from wetness. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, it is always sensible to check with your pharmacist or GP first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing Vaseline petroleum jelly could not be simpler. Start with clean, dry skin, then scoop a small amount with a clean, dry fingertip and smooth a thin layer over the area you want to soften or protect. There is no need to rub it right in – a light film left on the surface is all you need. For dry, chapped lips, reapply through the day and before bed. For very dry hands, elbows or cracked heels, apply a more generous layer at night, perhaps under cotton gloves or socks. Reapply as often as needed, and use dry fingers or a clean spatula to keep the jar hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIngredients, fragrance and suitability\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis jar contains 100% white petrolatum – pure petroleum jelly and nothing else – which is what makes it such a dependable choice. It is fragrance-free, with no added perfumes to trouble sensitive skin, and it is hypoallergenic. Because every skin is different, patch-test on a small area such as the inner forearm before first use and leave it for 24 hours, particularly if you are easily irritated. Always refer to the pack for the full ingredient list and the latest information before use. If you notice any redness, itching or irritation, stop using the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eImportant information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor external use only. Keep away from the eyes and do not apply to broken or infected skin unless advised by a healthcare professional. Petroleum jelly is a paraffin-based product: emollients like this can soak into clothing, bedding and dressings and, once absorbed, that fabric can catch fire more easily near a naked flame. Keep well away from fire, flames and cigarettes, and wash clothing and bedding regularly. A thin layer can be smoothed over minor cuts, scrapes and grazes to create a protective barrier while the skin recovers, but this is not a medicine or a substitute for medical care – see a pharmacist, GP or nurse for wounds, blistering burns or any skin problem that is severe, spreading or not improving. If irritation or a reaction occurs, stop use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children, store at room temperature away from direct heat and sunlight, and always read the label before use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vaseline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58052523786627,"sku":"0299305","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/71BxbfD1iJL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1785945169"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/collections\/vaseline.oembed","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
