Petroleum Jelly

Product Listing

Retail Price Range Under £5


Claim:

"A mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that, when blended together, create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place.

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly serves two functions:

First it helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure.

Second, it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from within the skin."

All round excellent product. This is such a multi purpose product that should be a staple in every household. Its great for moisturising the lips, applying to the lashes or eyelids for a subtle shine and beleive it or not it is also a great product for overnight hand and feet treatments. I have applied this at night to my feet and hands during the winter weather and gone to sleep with socks and gloves on! It sounds a little crazy I know but it does the job, it gives soft skin in the morning and helps to get rid of dry skin. I would advise everyone to get themselves a tub of vaseline if they don't already have one as it is a good multi use product! It is very inexpensive and lasts for ages!

I love vaseline, and the only reason I have said that I wouldn't but this product is because of the convenience of the vaseline tubs, which are much easier to carry round, and prevent having to get really gloopy fingers when you get halfway through the tub!

Other than that, Vaseline is an amazing product with loads of functions. I use it predominantly on my lips to prevent them chapping, but it also makes a great base for eyeshadow and mascara, as well as restorig dry skin more generally.

This product has been around for years, and will probably continue to be, due to its high quality.

This is really good in winter when my lips and around my mouth get really dry and sore. I use it when I have a cold and I am all sore around my nose and it really does help. It is thick but maybe that is why it soothes the skin. I think of it more as a medicinal cream and use it every winter when my skin is at its worst and very dry and sore. It is great value for money and I like to make sure I always have some around as all the family use it at one time or another.I would hate to go through the winter without it!It is a classic!

hmmm I dont know why people like this... First of all it doesnt moisturise. It just seals the skin, not leaving any moisture go in or out of the skin. This is why it does work but only when used on top of a moisturiser ( i do this on my feet and I like it). I dont use it for anything else as I prefer using more natural ways to keep my skin conditioned... (oh yes and I have read bad things -that put me off- about the ingredients after a little search on the indernet).
