Balea Vaseline 125 ml

Balea Vaseline 125 ml: one jar, pharmacopoeia quality, no fragrance

This is pure petroleum jelly and nothing else: the ingredients list is a single word. It meets European Pharmacopoeia quality, which is the standard that separates a proper vaseline from a cosmetic imitation.

Because it is fragrance free and preservative free, it can go anywhere on stressed skin: face, body, hands and feet. Cracked heels, chapped lips, dry elbows, a nose rubbed raw by a cold, the ends of a beard, a new tattoo left to settle.

Key points

• Pure petroleum jelly, European Pharmacopoeia quality
• Suitable for body, face, hands and feet
• Fragrance free and preservative free
• Suitable for sensitive and very dry skin
• Vegan, 125 ml jar

Vaseline seals rather than moisturises: it works best applied over slightly damp skin, where it locks the water in instead of sitting on a dry surface.
