Petroleum jelly (also known as petrolatum) is a semisolid jelly-like material, made of a mixture of mineral oils and waxes. It is widely used as a skin application due to its healing properties. It is commonly used on skin to treat dry skin (including lips and eyelids), injured skin, prevent chafing, treat skin rashes, and rehydrate nails.
Petroleum jelly is flammable, and has a melting-point generally close to 75°C. It may be colourless, translucent, or pale yellow, and in its pure form is tasteless and odourless. White petroleum jelly is insoluble in water, and repels it. Yellow petroleum Jelly exhibits good oil retaining capacity and high viscosity.
Petroleum jelly is used in candle wax formulas; it softens the mix, enables the candle to incorporate extra fragrance oil, and encourages adhesion to the sidewall of glass.
Other products offered in the Petroleum Jelly category by companies include White Petrolatum JP, White Soft Paraffin IP, Petrolatum USP, Yellow Soft Paraffin IP, White Petroleum Jelly, and White Soft Paraffin BP.

It may also be used to temporarily protect injured or exposed skin from harmful external elements that produce rashes. Additionally, petroleum jelly slows down transepidermal water loss (TEWL) from the skin by creating a barrier on the surface of the skin.
