When including a product in your skincare routine, it is natural to have questions. If you want to find out more about Vaseline® products, you can get the who, what, where, why, and how on this page. Keep reading to find your answer.
Vaseline® Jelly is made of 100% pure petroleum jelly which is a blend of mineral oils and waxes. Discovered by Robert Chesebrough in 1859, Vaseline® Jelly has had a long and dynamic history of keeping skin protected which you can read about here.
Vaseline® Jelly works by creating a seal between cells in dry or damaged skin which locks in moisture and speeds up your skin’s natural recovery process, helping it to heal from within. Its occlusive function allows it to protect dry skin, cracked skin, minor cuts, scraps, and burns. It also helps to reduce the appearance of fine, dry lines. Vaseline® Jelly can also be used to protect your skin and lips against dryness and chapping.
Vaseline® Jelly is the original wonder jelly. For over 150 years, it has been helping to keep skin healthy and looking beautiful. Vaseline® uses the highest quality ingredients and a proprietary triple purification process involving distillation, de-aeration, and filtration. This ensures that every jar is completely pure with a smooth consistency unlike many of the imitation brands which do not have the same level of stringency around quality. Look for the Vaseline® Triple Purification seal for a worry free purchase.
Yes, it is safe for the whole family. While derived from petroleum, Vaseline® ensures the safety of its jelly by putting it through a triple purification process. This process removes impurities, resulting in a jelly that is non-irritating and hypo-allergenic. Vaseline® Jelly Original is recommended by dermatologists and recognized by the National Eczema Association as a suitable choice for patients with eczema and other sensitive skin conditions.
No, it will not. Third-party industry experts have scientifically proven that Vaseline® Jelly is non-comedogenic, which means it will not clog pores, irritate your skin, or cause acne.
Only Vaseline® Intensive Care lotions are infused with rich moisturizers and triple-purified healing micro-droplets of Vaseline® Jelly. This fast-absorbing, non greasy formulation absorbs deeply to help heal dry skin deep down.
Dry skin can be caused by many factors such as weather, environment, some soaps and detergents, diet, or central heating and cooling. The natural oils found in your skin can be removed through normal activities throughout the day, stripping the natural moisture protection your skin needs to stay healthy. Without the necessary moisture, your skin’s protective barrier degrades, which allows even more moisture to escape.
Healthy skin is made up of nearly 90% water, which gives your skin the strength and flexibility to protect your body. Over the course of the day your body loses about a pint of water. External factors like the ones listed above exacerbate the loss of water through your skin by breaking down your natural moisture protection. Vaseline® lotions replenish the necessary moisture and nutrients and lock in moisture needed to help keep your skin healthy and beautiful every day.
