14 ways to use vaseline for home and personal care
Vaseline is a natural extract used since ancient times for aesthetic purposes.
Obtained from the residues of the distillation of oil, it is composed mostly of mineral oils and waxes, to which it owes its particular creamy-oily consistency and the name (from wasser = water and elaion = oil).
