Here is why you should buy a beeswax version and avoid Vaseline (petroleum jelly) at all costs.
Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of the petroleum (petrol) manufacturing process. The jelly is a chemical that is hard to dispose of, so clever corporations have processed it into a skin product and marketers have convinced consumers to buy the stuff.
Petroleum jelly has the unique ability to absorb into our skin and lock itself into place in between cells in our liquid barrier. Manufacturers of the stuff will tell you this creates long lasting, smooth skin. But truth be told, petroleum jelly has no moisturizing properties of its own. Instead, it acts as an impermeable barrier to the skin. Sure it will lock in whatever moisture is underneath it to give your skin the appearance of being moisturized, but it will also lock in any dirt, sweat, or bacteria that exists. This barrier will also deter any added moisture or beneficial ingredients from other products to reach the skin. Also, since petroleum jelly is not water soluble, it does not easily wash away, which means it can build up in your system over time.
Comes in a beautiful 50ml Amber glass jar with an aluminium lid.

Made in Bellingen NSW by Emily from Embody Bee.
To get the consistency just like petroleum jelly, Emily makes a natural version that looks and feel just like Vaseline. Castor oil and beeswax have a symbiotic relationship. When heated the beeswax is whisked into castor oil until the jelly like consistency is achieved. This mixture provides a protective barrier to the skin, holding in moisture and helping to prevent and skin irritation.
