Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of mineral oils paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that when blended together create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there it re-solidifies locking itself in place. It comes with the added goodness of aloe vera in a convenient easy-to-carry pocket size. It helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. It also acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from inside the skin itself
