Great alternative
This is a great alternative to vaseline. I like the fact that it's all natural. I have encountered some issues with breakouts when it's used on my face, however that could also be attributed to hormones. I do put this on my feet at night and cover them with socks - my feets feel soft and healed in the mornings. It's a great multi-purpose product!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Natural Vaseline!
I love Aquaphor, I mean I really, really love it and I go through a lot of it. My skin is always so dry, it seems to beg for it. I mix it in everything, I wear it with my sunblock in the morning, and over my Avage at night. On the eyes, on the lips, elbows & everywhere in between that needs an extra boost of moisture. It's highly recommended by dermatologists all over, but that doesn't mean th...read moreat it's good for the Earth. I've always been a recycler and try to keep the Earth in mind, but I've become more aware of all the things I could be doing - if anything, I think the Green movement is making people reconsider things, like beauty products. Knowing that about 60% of what you put on your skin absorbs into your body, you should probably be more aware of what you're using. (There is a reason that things such as Salycilic acid and Retinods aren't recommended for use while pregnant or breastfeeding.) Anyway, now to the actual product switch. There is a store here in the Pacific NorthWest that I'm hooked on called Super Supplements. It sells a huge variety of vitamins, supplements & natural items like beauty products - and it does it all without the hippie vibe - which is very nice. I'm always checking out their beauty products (most of which have testers!) and Alba's Un-petroleum caught my eye - it's a natural alternative to Vaseline & similar products, Aquaphor included. It's made with Coconut oil, beeswax, Vitamin E and Castor oil. It has a fantastic texture, no yucky smell and the biggie that sold me is every time I would have been applying petroleum, I'm applying the anti-oxidant Vitamin E topically! BRILLIANT! I also picked up one of their Un-petroleum SPF 18 lip balms in Vanilla. I'm so picky about taste and smell (I'd really prefer there wasn't any) but this one's scent was very, very faint and I couldn't really taste anything. I'm happy all around - these products are better for my skin, the environment & my wallet(Under $5 a tube and just a couple $ for the lip balm)!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful
