Is Vaseline natural? This cosmetic acts as an emollient
From a chemical point of view, it is a by-product of the distillation of crude oil. Colorless and odorless, with an oily, buttery consistency, it consists of a mixture of mineral oils and waxes. It has many uses, not only cosmetic, but also medicinal. Thanks to its occlusive properties, it is not absorbed into the skin, but leaves a greasy film on it, protecting it against excessive water loss.
