Description
Getting the right treatment or substance to help soothe an injury or burn is essential to the healing of the skin or recovery. The proper treatment can help you feel at rest and ease the pain while you recuperate. Petroleum jelly acts as a soothing ointment base for many topical therapeutic agents or medications. This means you can use it as a base balm that prepares your skin for other topical agents. It is widely used in healthcare for its moisturizing and therapeutic nature.
Usage: This Vaseline pure ultra-white petroleum jelly can be used by taking a small portion and rubbing it on the affected area(s) or wound. It can be used to soothe different types of injury ranging from burns (minor), skin donor sites, suture lines, abrasions, skin tears, chapped lips, minor cuts, circumcisions, and cosmetics. It can also be used to soothe umbilical bandages for new mothers. It moisturizes and relieves dryness in the affected skin area.
Texture: It is stable and non-water soluble, meaning it cannot be dissolved in water. As a result, it is still very effective even when the applied area touches water. Its stability prevents it from leaking or migrating from the applied area regardless of the temperature or weather. It is smooth, not sticky, and the consistency is thinner, making it easy to spread out.
Topical: This ointment base product is applied directly to the skin. It should be applied right on the wounded or affected area with the required quantity as directed on the package. Applying the product directly to the skin makes it easy for the substance to enter the body in no time.
Effect: This product soothes the skin and brings ease to the affected area. Since it is a moisturizer, it moisturizes the skin to reduce the chances of further complications and give the skin a radiant look. It also has a lasting effect and does not dry in quickly.
Package: It comes in firm tubes and is also available in sterile peel packets. The tubes allow you to easily squeeze some on your finger and apply it anywhere needed. The peel packets allow the sterilization of the sterilant to the content.
Availability: It is available in different sizes and quantities.
