Alba BotanicaUn-Petroleum Multi-Purpose Jelly, 3.5 Oz

I first bought this for a non-petroleum based balm or salve for my baby's bum. It worked as a dream. It has the consistency of petroleum jelly but the ingredients are so simple and effective. I have added essential oils as needed to it as needed. It makes a great base for topical application for EOs. It makes a good alternative to lip balm and even an additive to make up. As a cancer fighter I used it on my chest after surgery and radiation to soothe my mastectomy scars. It is so versatile it can be used for a base for massage also. It instantly soothes dry or injured skin. It holds moisture perfectly. If it seems a bit pricey it is worth it. I always keep it on hand. Pun intended...

Nice product. Helping my dry patches

Safe version of Vaseline as it does not contain petroleum. We use this religiously in our household.

Alba un-petroleum jelly is great for dry skin, removes make up gently, no scent, and aids any skin irritation. I appreciate that there is no animal testing, no artificial colors, paraffin free, and most importantly, no petroleum.I use this jelly everywhere! Great product for a great price. I took away one star because of how thin the product is which really helps in absorption.

I really like the feel of this and have comfort in knowing it’s non petroleum.

Nice, fresh branding, same great product. Long expiration date, 2.5 years. The main ingredient is non-organic castor seed oil. There is no mention on tube of whether this is hexane free.

Many years ago a Doctor told me to put a little bit Vaseline in my nostrils when going to bed as I had wound up in the hospital for 4 days at one point due to my issue. However, recently I read NOT to use Vaseline as it was petroleum which meant petroleum could wind up in your lungs if used as the Doctor recommended. So I searched a NON-Petroleum product and found Alba Botanica. Well, It worked GREAT! It's works EXACTLY the same as Vaseline, a great moisturizer, is odorless and is very cost effective. I've also used it on other irritated spots which it also worked just as well.I gave it 5 stars on all counts. As far as 5 stars on SCENT... I gave that to the product since it did NOT have a scent. I would recommend Alba Botanica to anyone interested in using a NON-Petroleum moisturizing jelly.

I wish I had known before purchasing that the ingredients have changed, but there's nothing about it in the listing or even on their website. It contains Rapeseed Oil now. This is one of the most genetically modified (GMO) crops in North America. It's not something I feel safe using on my skin. If you're going to use an inferior seed oil, the least you could do is choose an organic or non-GMO source, but nope. Unlike the sunflower oil it is not a certified organic ingredient. What a disappointment.
