petroleum jelly
Glossy protective salve
Petroleum jelly is a translucent, waxy substance derived from petroleum, used as a lubricant and moisture barrier.
It's applied to dry skin, minor cuts, and chapped lips, and serves as a base for ointments and cosmetics.
Vaseline is the best-known brand, often used generically for the product itself.
