Waxelene Jar 9 oz

Product Information

Soy Oil contains many great things for improving your skin’s health including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, as well as minerals and vitamins. Its hero ingredient, isoflavone genistein, stimulates production of collagen which helps skin cells renew and repair themselves, while keeping the skin moist. If you apply more than the desired amount simply remove the excess by spreading to another area or by gently dapping the area with a towel.

But the main concern with petroleum jelly when it comes to human health has to do with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

In addition to being the best ever moisturizer, Waxelene Multi-Purpose Ointment has many other beneficial properties. Here are a few of the most popular uses:

Beeswax is a natural emulsifier with occlusive properties that create a protective barrier shielding precious skin from infection. Once the protective barrier is in place, the beeswax uses the moisture that is sealed in to deeply penetrate the skin leaving it soft and supple. It’s just a bonus that that beeswax gives off a lovely light honey scent. This is a review for lip care. I have oily skin and no real problem areas, so I used Waxelene on my lips only** It’s also worth nothing that all of these different ingredients can be hidden under the “fragrance” or “parfum” label. That means that your personal care products could contain petroleum products without them even being listed on the label. This is one of the reasons why here at The Filtery, we try our hardest to completely avoid products with “fragrance” in them. You can learn more about this fragrance loophole right here. Works best when used after a shower, before bed, after hand washing, or anytime your skin may be irritated! You and your little ones will have thriving skin in a matter of days with the Multi-Purpose Ointment! That means no more sleepless nights itching, no more hiding rashes in photos and you won't even need to worry about certain fabrics irritating skin.In Canada, petrolatum is classified as “a high human health priority” and as “expected to be toxic or harmful” on the Environment Canada Domestic Substance List. Petroleum jelly doesn’t actually moisturize the skin either—it pretty much just sits there on the surface of the skin until it wears off, giving the appearance of moisturization in the meantime. (This is why you may have noticed that many popular lip balm brands don’t actually make your lips less chapped and why you have to keep re-applying!) Waxelene’s Multi-Purpose Ointment is specially formulated to soothel, rejuvenate and rehydrate your skin, face, and lips, as well as treat a wide variety of skin-related issues. Using the natural healing properties of beeswax, our moisturizing ointment can provide relief for chapped lips, dry and irritated skin and can even act as a daily moisturizer. Because of its patented aeration process and the anti-inflammatory properties of beeswax, Waxelene Multi Purpose Ointment is also effective against various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and more. It can also be used to help protect minor cuts and burns. The Multi-Purpose Ointment is made of just four natural ingredients that provide lasting nourishment and hydration for the skin. However, it is our unique patented aeration process that is the true hero of the Multi-Purpose Ointment. By infusing air particles in the ointment, pores are not clogged and the skin is able to absorb air (which the skin needs to heal) and release toxins. The result? Eczema and psoriasis-prone skin is able to heal and stay hydrated for long periods.

Bathroom cabinets and nightstands overflowing with chemical and petroleum filled creams are a thing of the past. With the Multi-Purpose Ointment all of your family's skincare needs are taken care of without any nasties! So where does petroleum jelly come into the picture? If and when petroleum is properly refined and turned into petroleum jelly, it actually shouldn’t pose that much of a threat to human health. The problem, however, is that petrolatum/petroleum jelly is more often than not minimally refined and therefore is often contaminated with these PAHs. This is especially the case in the U.S., where there are no requirements on refinement in the petroleum used in personal care products. By contrast, the “EU mandates that for cosmetic use, the full refining history of the petrolatum must be known and proven to be non-carcinogenic.”Additionally, according to the CDC, certain PAHs can also affect other bodily systems such as the blood, immune system, liver, spleen, kidneys, developing fetus, lungs, and more. P.S. The following petroleum jelly substitutes are made with beeswax, so they are not vegan. If you’d prefer some options that are completely free of any animal products, just scroll down! Vaseline is to petroleum jelly as Kleenex is to tissue. Vaseline is actually just a brand of petroleum jelly. Started in 1870, it was the first commercially produced brand of petroleum jelly. It can also help relieve and treat the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and a host of other skin conditions, providing relief and comfort throughout the day. So now that we know why petroleum jelly is best avoided, let’s talk about what to use instead! Below are our favorite multi-purpose balms to use instead of Vaseline. Not only are these brands free of petrolatum and mineral oils, but they’re also free of other toxic ingredients like phthalates and more.

There are many reasons to use skin ointment, but most commonly, it is used to moisturize dry skin and treat irritation caused by environmental skin damage or common skin conditions. This is why it is not only PAHs themselves that have been put on various hazard lists, but also the specific products we’re discussing here, like petrolatum and mineral oils: PAHs are also suspected to be endocrine disruptors, which means they can mess with one’s hormones and possibly lead to things like decreased fertility and other health issues. All the lotions you and I possess play a part in keeping our skin healthy and our melanin looking flawless.But I hadn’t encountered anything like Waxelene before, and now that I’ve tried it, I’m glad that I did.As a non-renewable resource and byproduct of the oil refining process, petroleum jelly is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Petroleum jelly is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons. As the name indicates, this jelly-like balm is made out of, well, petroleum! Petroleum is a byproduct of crude oil (which should be our first indication that it’s probably not great for human or environmental health).
