"I love using vaseline, I think it´´s by far the best and strongest moisturiser for my lips. As Vaseline is a 100% petroleum based product, am I now asking myself "is it good for me or the planet?" please let me know what you think"

"Never really thought I was going to discuss such a subject but afterall Vaseline is a product like another. What you´´re asking Sangeeta is "is Vaseline a green product?" Clearly vaseline is a petrol based products so that´s the green credentials gone. It has massive healing properties and can be used for multi functions unlike many other cosmetic products (so my wife explains). So having 1 tub of vaseline is greener than having 5 different products I guess. Not very scientific I know...sorry :-("
