SAFE AND EFFECTIVE 

We believe in skin care products underpinned by science & technology and in developing products that deliver superior efficacy & sensory.
 

We want everyone to be confident when using our products, and our ingredients are deemed safe and effective by the scientific community at Unilever's Safety and Environmental Assurance Centre, which is staffed by around 200 people, including scientists recognized as leaders in their field.

NO ANIMAL TESTING  

Our parent company, Unilever, uses science, not animals to ensure that our products are safe, and we don’t believe that animal testing is necessary to assure safety.
 

Since the 1980s, Unilever has been developing and using alternatives to animal testing, such as computer modelling and cell culture-based experiments, to assess safety for the consumer, for its employees and for the environment. Unilever regularly presents and publishes its work, and continually collaborates with others to share its knowledge and apply exciting new science.

How Vaseline® Jelly works, and why it’s so amazing.

Petroleum jelly is a versatile ingredient with many skin benefits, including a unique skin barrier recovery mechanism, making it the perfect skincare occlusive. It essentially offers effective protection and moisturization, while promoting skin barrier recovery. How? It penetrates the skin layers and then re-crystallizes, replacing lipids and boosting the skin's ability to repair itself. It not only protects but also helps your skin’s healing process. People don’t call Vaseline® Jelly the “Wonder Jelly” for nothing!

VASELINE® JELLY 101

 

  • What is a skincare occlusive moisturizer? An occlusive moisturizer forms a physical barrier on the top layer of our skin that prevents moisture loss. Occlusives seal in the water, so it doesn't evaporate. It makes skin feel soft and smooth and can also relieve irritation like itching or burning. The degree of occlusivity of Petrolatum Jelly is unique as it gives effective protection and moisturization, while aiding barrier recovery.  
  • Is Vaseline® Jelly safe for skin? Vaseline® ensures the safety of its petroleum jelly by putting it through a triple purification process. Vaseline® Jelly has been around for over a century and is actually less irritating to skin than water! It's clinically proven to heal and protect your skin.
  • What does the Triple Purified Seal mean? Our seal guarantees every jar of Vaseline® is 100% contaminant-free. Vaseline® Jelly is purified three times which exceeds the US purity standards. Another reason you can trust Vaseline®.
  • Does Vaseline® Jelly cause acne? Vaseline® Jelly is non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t clog pores in the skin.
