Tagline The Healing Power of Vaseline
Vaseline /ˈvæsəliːn/ is an American brand of petroleum jelly-based products owned by British-Dutch company Unilever. Products include plain petroleum jelly and a selection of skin creams, soaps, lotions, cleansers, and deodorants.
In many languages, the word \"Vaseline\" is used as generic for petroleum jelly; in Portugal the Unilever products are called Vaselina, and in Brazil and some Spanish-speaking countries, the Unilever products are called Vasenol.
History
In 1859, Robert Chesebrough went to the oil fields in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and learned of a residue called \"rod wax\" that had to be periodically removed from oil rig pumps. The oil workers had been using the substance to heal cuts and burns. Chesebrough took samples of the rod wax back to Brooklyn, extracted the usable petroleum jelly, and began manufacturing a medicinal product he called Vaseline.
The first known reference to the name Vaseline was by Chesebrough in his U.S. patent (U.S. Patent 127,568) in 1872. \"I, Robert Chesebrough, have invented a new and useful product from petroleum which I have named Vaseline...\"
The name \"vaseline\" is said by the manufacturer to be derived from German Wasser \"water\" + Greek έλαιον (elaion) \"olive oil\".
Vaseline was made by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company until the company was purchased by Unilever in 1987.
Uses
While Vaseline can be used as a lubricant, it can also be used as a moisture insulator for local skin conditions characterized by tissue dehydration.
Vaseline has been reported to be highly refined, triple-purified and regarded as non-carcinogenic.
Sources
White petrolatum, the ingredient in petroleum jelly Vaseline, is refined from petroleum.
*Please note: collecting and selling comicshas been my hobby for over 30 years. Due to thehours of my job I can usually only mail packages out on Saturdays. I send out First Class orPriority Mail which takes 2 - 7 days to arrive in the USAand Air Mail International which takes 5 - 30 days or more depending on where youlive in the world. I do not \"sell\" postage or packaging and charge less than the actual cost of mailing. I package items securely and wrap well. Most pages come in an Archival Sleeve with Acid Free Backing Board at no extra charge. If you are dissatisfied with an item. Let me know and I will do my best to make it right.
Many Thanks to all of my1,000\'s of past customers around the World.
EnjoyYour Hobby Everyone and Have Fun Collecting!
