VASELINE
Structure: Vaseline is a collection of congealed heavier petroleum products, so its exact structure, RMM, and molecular formula are impossible to define exactly.
Other Names: Petroleum Jelly, Petrolatum, Mineral Grease
Function: Seals chapped lips or dry skin and moisturizes the skin. Removes eye makeup. Takes heat out of sunburn.
Additional Information: Vaseline was discovered by roughnecks and roustabouts on the oil rigs. They found that this very light, whipped component of oil would soften and moisturize their hands as they worked with the shaft.
