Petrolatum in first aid and internal uses cautions
Petrolatum or Vaseline is a bland petroleum derivative used as an ointment base and internal lubricant for constipation. It should be sterile for wounds and kept in a closed container to avoid contamination. Colorless petrolatum is used internally for constipation, and emulsions were once marketed as nutritive but are not nourishment. Avoid repeated dipping of a jar into wounds, and do not rely on petrolatum for antiseptic healing.
