Pharmaceutical Grade Petroleum Jelly (often referred to by the brand name Vaseline) is a highly refined, semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons.
Pharma Grade Petroleum Jelly is an odorless, tasteless, and nearly colorless (white) translucent mass. It is specifically refined to remove impurities like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are often found in lower industrial grades. It acts as an occlusive barrier, meaning it sits on top of the skin to prevent moisture loss (TEWL - Transepidermal Water Loss).
