Yes. Petroleum jelly is just that; an oil product. Lip balms generally contain some form of petroleum, along with waxes (such as beeswax or parafin) and "enhancers"-things that make your lips shiny or medicate them, etc. Some common ones include vitamins A and E, almond oil, shea butter, and other oils (coconut, etc.) Balms are sometimes colored, as well, where as petroleum is clear and shiny. Plus, a full container of petroleum jelly is (a lot of times, anyways) cheaper than most lip balms out there.
