Known for over 100 years, Vaseline - or petrolatum - is a fatty substance most often used for its ability to limit water loss and its lubricating properties. Sometimes criticized for being derived from hydrocarbons, Vaseline is nonetheless very well tolerated.
The skin on our feet is the most stressed part of our body. To prevent it from drying out and forming horn, it needs to be moisturized. Vaseline is an effective product for dry feet. Its sticky, greasy texture is not as uncomfortable as for the face.
Practical tip: apply generously to dry areas and leave on overnight, after putting on a pair of socks.
For minor wounds (burns, bites, scratches...), Vaseline can help regenerate the skin. It creates a moist wound environment and encourages cell growth, limiting the formation of scabs.
Practical tip: Apply a thick layer of Vaseline directly to the wound, even if it's bleeding.
Vaseline's lubricating properties mean it can be used to moisturize mucous membranes in cases of vaginal dryness or anal intercourse. However, it's important not to use it on a condom. If you do, the condom becomes porous and therefore permeable to microbes, and sperm can pass through.
Practical advice: Choose a non-greasy, water-based lubricating gel. Only water-soluble lubricating gels are compatible with condoms.
Well-known for its lubricating properties, petroleum j elly is made from petroleum oil and becomes fluid at room temperature.
