Product Description

Heal and revitalise dry, dull skin thanks to Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Oil. Our Intensive Care Body Oil combines pure cocoa butter and replenishing oils to revive dry and dull-looking skin for a healthy glow. Formulated with 100% natural cocoa butter, this moisturiser has a warm fragrance to help your skin not only look healthy but smell great. It is also suitable for sensitive skin. Cocoa butter is an oily substance extracted from cocoa beans – the same ones that are used to make chocolate! It benefits dry skin because it is a great emollient, which means it works to moisturise deep down to keep skin soft and supple. Its thick consistency makes it ideal for keeping skin moisturised in the winter. Cocoa butter is also perfect for areas prone to especially dry or rough skin like the elbows, knees, and heels. Our skin is the barrier between our bodies and the outside world, and the health of our skin is essential to our overall well-being. At Vaseline, we believe that healthy skin starts with deep-restoring moisture, which is why our gel's formula calms and soothes the skin. The micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly penetrate deep down within the stratum corneum to form a protective layer on your skin and lock in moisture. For best results, use in the morning or evening, preferably after a bath or shower.

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that, when blended together; create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly serves two functions: First it helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. Second, it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from within the skin.

Petroleum was first found and extracted from something called “rod wax” a waste product that had to be periodically removed from oil rig pumps. The oil rig workers had been using this “rod wax” in a similar way. In 1859 Robert Chesebrough went to the oil fields in Titusville, Pennsylvania and discovered this “rod wax” and saw the massive potential it had, he took a sample home and extracted the Petroleum Jelly which he called Vaseline.
