Petroleum Jelly (Hygel)

Petroleum Jelly (Hygel) is a translucent or white, odorless substance with a smooth texture. It is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily obtained from petroleum refining. Petroleum Jelly forms a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture and prevent moisture loss, making it an effective moisturizer. It is commonly used to soothe and protect dry, chapped, or irritated skin. It is also found in various cosmetic and personal care products like lip balms, lotions, and ointments.
