Most petroleum jelly today is used as an ingredient in skin lotions and cosmetics, providing various types of skin care and protection by minimizing friction or reducing moisture loss, or by functioning as a grooming aid (e.g., pomade). It is also used for treating dry scalp and dandruff. [22] Preventing moisture loss [ edit ] White soft paraffin is also known as white petroleum jelly. When you apply it to the skin it leaves a layer of oil on the surface of the skin that prevents water evaporating from the skin surface. It is a very greasy moisturiser. It is also water repellent and helps protect the skin from irritants. Physiotherapy aims to ensure the patient is mobilising full weight bearing with appropriate gait pattern from Day 1 post injury. It is important to avoid crutches where able as the patient will have a better outcome if they are able to walk with a normal gait pattern from Day 1 of their injury. To allow this mobility appropriate lower limb compression may be required and appropriate footwear prescribed eg sheepskin lined postop shoes for burns to soles of feet. Suspected Inhalation injury

After petroleum jelly became a medicine-chest staple, consumers began to use it for cosmetic purposes and for many ailments including toenail fungus, genital rashes (non- STI), nosebleeds, diaper rash, and common colds. Its folkloric medicinal value as a " cure-all" has since been limited by a better scientific understanding of appropriate and inappropriate uses. It is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an approved over-the-counter (OTC) skin protectant and remains widely used in cosmetic skin care, where it is often loosely referred to as mineral oil.

Paraffin wax (or petroleum wax) is a soft colorless solid derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between 20 and 40 carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37°C (99°F), [2] and its boiling point is above 370°C (698°F). [2] Common applications for paraffin wax include lubrication, electrical insulation, and candles; [3] dyed paraffin wax can be made into crayons. It is distinct from kerosene and other petroleum products that are sometimes called paraffin. [4] NEW: 2024 EDQM virtual training programme: Independent modules on European Pharmacopoeia texts related to Biologicals and on Microbiology chaptersThe easiest way to melt paraffin wax at home is to use a double boiler. If you have nail polish on, remove it before starting the process. Wash your hands well and dry them with a lint-free towel. By smoothing and softening the skin moisturisers can increase the absorption of other medicines that are applied to the skin. This is useful in conditions such as eczema because it improves the ability of other medicines, such as corticosteroid creams, to penetrate the skin and reduce inflammation.

Petroleum jelly can be used to lubricate zippers and slide rules. It was also recommended by Porsche in maintenance training documentation for lubrication (after cleaning) of "Weatherstrips on Doors, Hood, Tailgate, Sun Roof". [27] It is used in bullet lubricant compounds. [28] Industrial production processes [ edit ] Indications: Cetraben Cream is an emollient, moisturising and protective cream for the symptomatic relief of red, inflamed, dry skin, especially when associated with eczema. In the first part of the twentieth century, petroleum jelly, either pure or as an ingredient, was also popular as a hair pomade. When used in a 50/50 mixture with pure beeswax, it makes an effective moustache wax. [23] Skin lubrication [ edit ] Petroleum jelly is sometimes used to protect the terminals on batteries. [29] In automobiles, a silicone-based battery grease provides better protection as it is less likely to melt. [30] [31] Surface cleansing [ edit ]

Depending on the specific application of petroleum jelly, it may be USP, B.P., or Ph. Eur. grade. This pertains to the processing and handling of the petroleum jelly so it is suitable for medicinal and personal-care applications. EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (2012).

You can have a paraffin wax treatment done at a nail salon or spa, but you can also do it at home. It’s important to follow the correct steps to get the maximum benefits from the treatment.
