A petroleum-based ointment is a topical product that contains petroleum jelly or similar petroleum derivatives as its primary ingredient. These ointments are used to moisturize and protect the skin by creating a barrier that helps to lock in moisture and prevent irritation. They are often used for dry skin, minor cuts, and abrasions, as well as for soothing chapped lips. Common examples include products like Vaseline and various healing ointments.
