Petrolatum, a petroleum product, is used in cosmetics as a skin protectant and moisturizer. It creates a physical barrier on the skin's surface that helps trap moisture and prevent water loss. Petrolatum is suitable for dry, flaky, or irritated skin and is commonly used in healing ointments, diaper rash creams, and lotions. It is also used as an ingredient in emollients, which are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking.
