	Petrolatum-containing aerosol foam concentrate
		Petrolatum consists of a mixture of hydrocarbons (including mineral oil and microcrystalline hydrocarbon waxes) of such nature that when the melted material is cooled to ordinary room temperatures, it congeals to a translucent, amorphous or jelly-like material.
		The chief drawbacks of petrolatum in topical compositions are its greasiness, cosmetic inelegance and the inability to obtain a thin and consistent film over a large area of skin.
		In the embodiments having 20% by weight petrolatum, 65-70% by weight water and an emulsifier comprising a blend of steareth-2 and steareth-20, the amount of emulsifier is about 2.5% by weight of the total weight of the emulsion.

	Petroleum jelly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Petrolatum is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, having a melting-point usually ranging from a little below to a few degrees above 100° F (37° C).
		Beginning in the 1920s, petrolatum, either pure or as an ingredient, was also popular as a hair pomade.
		Although petrolatum is less expensive than glycerol, the most common active lubricating ingredient in skin lotion, it is not used in expensive lotions because it is not absorbed into the skin and therefore leaves a greasy feel.

	The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Petrolatum: Industry Research Report
		It is for this definition of petrolatum that the aggregate latent demand estimates are derived.
		Based on the aggregate view of petrolatum as defined above, data were then collected for as many similar countries as possible for that same definition, at the same level of the value chain.
		Another way of looking at this is to say that latent demand for petrolatum is more likely to be similar across countries that have similar characteristics in terms of economic development (i.e., African countries will have similar latent demand structures controlling for the income variation across the pool of African countries).

	Treating evaporative dry eye and blepharitis with petrolatum next to the eye
		I wipe off the petrolatum (with facial or toilet tissue) and reapply fresh when it seems to lose its effectiveness, which is normally at roughly one to three hour intervals.
		because petrolatum is unpatentable, cheap, and widely available, there is no financial incentive for investors to fund a clinical trial to establish that it is safe and effective for dry eye.
		What I have seen suggests to me that the petrolatum creeps in all directions from where it is placed on the skin, and will creep between the lashes and across the eyelid margin and into the eye.

		Patch testing with white petrolatum was performed in both the 19 patients and in 30 other atopic dermatitis patients who had experienced excellent results with tacrolimus ointment.
		Further, patch testing to petrolatum showed positive reactions in several (six of 19) patients, compared with none of 30 controls with atopic eczema that had responded to topical tacrolimus ointment.
		We suggest that one reason for the unresponsiveness to tacrolimus ointment may be because of contact sensitivity to white petrolatum.
