Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount. Petrolatum is more commonly known as petroleum jelly. It is created by mixing waxes and mineral oils. This ingredient is effective at reducing water loss by 99%. This is because it is an occlusive. Occlusives create a hydrophobic barrier on the skin to prevent evaporation. This property makes it great for hydrating dry skin. Pro tip: Use occlusives, such as this ingredient, on damp skin for the best results. The quality or origin of petrolatum is only known when disclosed by the brand. Most cosmetic petrolatum has gone through several purification stages. Another benefit of occlusives is it protects your skin against infection or allergies. Petrolatum is fungal acne safe. It is a hydrocarbon with no fatty acid structure, so Malassezia cannot metabolize it. In-vitro studies support negligible growth stimulation as well. It's also worth noting that petrolatum has a comedogenic rating of 0. In updated rabbit ear testing (and in human testing), petrolatum was found to be not comedogenic. This means it didn’t promote comedone formation in standard models.
