Un-Petroleum

I used to be a hardcore A&D fan. But with all the bad press about petroleum these days, I was happy to see this week's Dear Safe Mama address this particular issue. So, basically, the refining process to make a product palpable for human use might be contaminated with PAHs that is linked with cancer. Hence, I've been thinking of alternatives.

I saw Alba's Un-Petroleum's Jelly at the store but was not pushed to buy it until I saw it recommended by Safe Mama. It's slightly thicker than normal Vaseline and it smells faintly like beeswax, but I'm happy with it.

If you want to go organic, Badger also makes this great baby organic balm.

You can also make your homemade version!
