Waxelene Original Aerated Balm, Travel Jar, Organic Multipurpose Ointment the Petroleum Jelly Alternative Eczema Dry Sensitive Skin Face Moisturizer

For countless number of years I have always used Vaseline as a moisturizer for my lips. I live in Arizona and with dry air it's hard finding a product that doesn't absorb away quickly without putting a lot on. I don't wear lipstick. Regular lip balms are okay but I honestly can't stand the fragrance put in most of them. Waxelene is very smooth and soothing and makes my lips feel soft for a long time. It even gives them a satin sheen unlike the obvious glossy shine from Vaseline. The combination of soybean oil, beeswax, vitamin E oil, and rosemary oil creates a natural mellow fragrance and it doesn't bother me at all. I highly recommend Waxelene. If you're concerned about the price, don't be, because a 2 oz. jar will last a long time.Update - October 21, 2012 - I previously wrote about this 2 oz. jar lasting a long time. I'm pleased to say 6 months after my purchase my jar is only half gone. I use Waxelene two to three times a day to moisturize my lips. It doesn't absorb away like other products do and I no longer carry a tube of other moisturizer with me when I am away from home for the day. My lips stay soft without any additional help. It's great!Second Update - May 13, 2013 - I just used the last of this jar today. So, that's been about 1 year ago I started using it. Pretty wonderful, high quality value for $8.99! Granted, I only use it in the morning and at night and really you don't need very much at all to moisturize your lips. I'm ordering more today.

I use this as moisturizer and when I get cuts. Smell is neutral.

I will never be without this product. The best non toxic all purpose balm, use it for diaper rash, after a facial, moisturizer and great if you have dry heels.

I admit that I am an Aquaphor addict: I used to keep a tube in every bag and bathroom. But after reading about the dangers of petrolatum in products like Aquaphor and Vaseline, I decided to look for a healthier alternative. Waxelene has been touted as a healthier, more natural balm and I decided to try it for a month by keeping a tube in my purse and this jar at home. At the end of the month, I felt that Waxelene was a decent substitute but hardly as effective as Aquaphor in warding off chapped lips, ragged cuticles, dry skin and healing cut skin. Waxelene is far more "liquidy" than Aquaphor, looked more greasy when applied, and had a tendency to liquify when the temperature was warm. But still, I felt far more comfortable using Waxelene than continuing my Aquaphor addiction. After trial and error, I found combining shea butter with Waxelene gave me the thicker, protective consistency I missed with Aquaphor. Problem solved.

This is my perfect lip balm and great for chapped skin. I always thought I was cursed with dry, peeling lips and no matter what lip balm I used, it just wasn't enough. I finally started using a petroleum jelly based balm and it worked pretty well for keeping my lips soft and reminding me not to chew on or lick them, but I felt uncomfortable with the idea of ingesting that kind of product.A few months ago I got a sample of Waxelene and used it on my toddler's chapped nose and. It worked great. I decided to purchase it again to see how it would work as a lip balm and now I don't think I'll ever use anything else. It sinks in a little, but stays a little bit on the lips for a good, long while (2-3 hours at least). This reminds me now to lick or chew on my lips while it does its work, plus overnight it lasts all night and I wake up with super soft lips. I put some into a smaller container so I could take it with me, too.

Can you imagine that almost everything in our world is made with some oil?!! That's just darn crazy! But this Waxelene purchase is one of the exceptions, and a way to reduce our oil dependence. 'Waxelene' feels like vaseline w/o the consequences. And you don't have to pay upwards of $125+ a barrel either. In fact, the 2 oz jar is enough -- at least for the first purchase. Also because this ALL-NATURAL goo has a 1-year expiration date on it, the smaller (but not too small) 2 oz. jar might suffice as compared to the larger 9 oz. jar. It seems UNnatural for a jar of processed stuff to have an expiration date on it since we're so used to using, and eating, stuff that's made of chemicals. But not Waxelene. And by the way, there's nothing better than a company or merchant that's honest about printing an expiration date and not trying to sell old stuff! The age of trust is upon us.Some practical data: Don't buy extra 'gift' jars too soon because they might expire -- then again, you don't want to forget about this little unique gem of a gift either - just an idea, but you could add it to your Amazon WishList as a reminder. There's a multitude of uses for this stuff: chapped lips, hands, and 'monkey butt' (a joke for bicyclists), etc. Anything you use Vaseline for, well, this is an organic alternative for everything. And it's good for Mother Earth. FYI: Mother's Day in right around the corner, in mid-May. (A jar of Waxelene would be perfect. Just make sure the main gift has a bit of sparkle and comes with a big warm HUG, and you'll be in good standing for the HUSH HUSH 'favorite kid' award once again.)

Excellent for your skin and lips. I live in Colorado, dry climate. This helps heal more than I expected.
