Healthy skin every day
In 1869, Robert Chesebrough, a dispensing chemist, discovered something amazing. He discovered a 100% natural product, rich in minerals from deep within the earth yet totally pure, which had remarkable healing properties when applied to cuts, burns and abrasions of the skin. That product was branded Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.
Your skin is amazing
Just as Robert Chesebrough in the 1800's, we continue to be motivated by a passion and curiosity about skin. It's an incredibly complex and miraculous creation of nature – a set of interdependent systems and elements that even today we don't fully understand. It protects us from adverse climate and from infection. It recreates and regenerates itself through our lives. It stretches, yet retains its form. It is waterproof, yet it can emit water.
And yet most of us take our skin for granted. If we were to respect our skin more, and think about what we were doing to it, we would surely treat it better by, for example, drinking plenty of water or avoiding the sun. And when we put products on our skin, we’d ensure that we chose a brand that had a long and renowned history of developing products that cared for skin, a brand that has been curious and passionate about skin for over 130 years. The Vaseline brand offers us the distilled wisdom of this learning in wonderfully absorbent, beautiful to touch, delicately fragranced, everyday products that care for your body like no others.
Vaseline in South Africa has continued to offer expert skin care products.
