Petrolatum, also called petroleum jelly, is vegan as an ingredient. It is made from refined petroleum and contains no animal-derived ingredients. A finished balm or cream may contain other ingredients, so check the full formula separately.
Petrolatum is a semi-solid mixture of mineral oils and waxes used in skin-care products. It forms a barrier that helps slow moisture loss.
