Who really wants to put a bi-product of crude oil on their baby or themselves? Petroleum coats the skin, like putting a layer of plastic on it!! See the ingredients to avoid page for more information. This is the Fiddlebump version of petroleum jelly…without the petroleum. Use for dry chapped skin, diaper rash, lips & more. (Many people use this on the pads of their dogs feet to replace lost moisture and prevent cracking!)
