It actually can be useful in a survival situation and offers many benefits to those who store extra for when the \u201cSHTF.\u201d And if you\u2019re a more natural prepper, we\u2019ve got a few alternatives to Vaseline for you that are just as good, if not better!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Vaseline?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Petroleum jelly is the generic name of Vaseline. It is a lubricant and is a byproduct of the petroleum industry. Surprisingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/10\/21\/vaseline-petroleum-jelly_n_4136226.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vaseline is an organic product. It was originally discovered on the bottom<\/a> of oil rigs and is often used to prevent or heal dry flaky skin.\u00a0Vaseline is highly-refined, triple-purified, and regarded as non-carcinogenic.\u00a0 Other brands may not be as pure, and many dermatologists suggest sticking with the original\u00a0name brand to avoid possible contamination of cancer-causing chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Vaseline is water-repellant and not water-soluble. That means it will seal\u00a0the barrier so that moisture does not leave the skin. If you\u2019ve ever had such dry skin that it\u2019s cracked and bled,\u00a0you know that feeling of instant gratification when you slather on an antiseptic that\u2019s also a moisture barrier such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lymphnotes.com\/article.php\/id\/473\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neosporin (which contains three antibiotic <\/a>ingredients in a petroleum jelly base.) Even though it\u2019s considered safe to use, if you can access other options for your dry skin concerns, it is recommended to do so. Products containing beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, and\/or cocoa butter seal in moisture as well are definitely more natural if that\u2019s a concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fun and Exciting Ways To Use Vaseline For Home Preparedness Vaseline is often found in medicine cabinets across the United States.\u00a0 But have you ever thought of adding some to your prepping gear?
