What's Petroleum Jelly?

Petroleum Jelly

Say: puh-TRO-lee-um JEL-ee

Don't put this jelly on your sandwich. Petroleum jelly is gloopy, gooey, slippery stuff that's great for protecting dry, cracked skin. If your nose feels dry and itchy from a cold or allergies, a tiny bit of petroleum jelly might make if feel better and prevent a nosebleed.
