Aquaphor by Eucerin is owned by Beiersdorf AG, which is German, so that's my current go-to.

And this one specific moisturizer in the tub has a very similar texture to Vaseline, just a little bit thicker.

You would think with our massive supply of petroleum we would have a Canadian company.

I realize its more complicated than that in real life though.

Please consider looking for alternatives to petroleum jelly.

Shea butter, bees wax and coconut oil, though some people may have allergies to some of these.

Yes, because it’s important to shut down the fossil fuel industry.

I feel ignorant that I didn't know they were related

It’s called “petroleum jelly”?!?

[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We should call it petroleum jam.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Must be jelly cause this jam don't shake like that 🎷🎵

If money is an issue check those out, make sure they are produced in Canada or some other place that is not the US, but also compare prices with the natural options like the butters and what not.
