- White soft paraffin is also known as white petroleum jelly.
- When you apply it to the skin it leaves a layer of oil on the surface of the skin that prevents water evaporating from the skin surface.
- It is a very greasy moisturiser. It is also water repellent and helps protect the skin from irritants.
- Dry skin results from lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells known as the stratum corneum.
- When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy.
- The stratum corneum contains natural water-holding substances that retain water seeping up from the deeper layers of the skin, and water is also normally retained in the stratum corneum by a surface film of natural oil (sebum) and broken-down skin cells, which slow down evaporation of water from the skin surface.
