Who wants to rub a petroleum product like Vaseline onto their lips and skin? Not me. I love this alternative and use it all the time. Highly recommended.

Love love love this little pot. So happy I bought it. Goes with me everywhere. I've been slathering my lips in it, and also using it as an eye cream as I've recently been experiencing some dryness around the eyes caused by hay fever. Way better ingredients than the other "big name brand". Will definitely repurchase when I eventually get through it!
