What is Vaseline Oil by Tver Pharmaceutical Factory and how does it actually work on the skin?

Vaseline Oil 50 ml is a cosmetic mineral oil whose key ingredient is Paraffinum Liquidum (liquid paraffin). It is colourless, odourless, and contains no essential oils, perfume, plant extracts or active acids. It works on a simple physical principle: after application it leaves a thin transparent film on the skin surface, and this film slows down water evaporation. That is why dry patches feel softer and tight, flaky areas become smoother — not because the oil “feeds” the skin, but because moisture stays in the skin for longer.

This makes it different from many creams and lotions that contain water, humectants, emulsifiers and fragrance. Vaseline Oil has a minimal formula, so it suits people who want a simple emollient or need a neutral product for occasional dry areas. It is also stable and does not oxidise as quickly as many plant oils, which is why mineral oil has a long history in skin protection products.

It is intended for external cosmetic use only. If you have not used this type of product before, test it on a small area first, avoid the eye area, and stop using it if irritation appears. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease.
