How it all started

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly was created by Robert Augustus Chesebrough, a 22-year-old chemist from New York, in 1859. Oil rig workers discovered that rod wax, a petroleum by-product from oil rig pumps, healed their cuts and burns. Chesebrough extracted petroleum jelly from the rod wax and gave it to Brooklyn construction workers to treat their minor scratches and abrasions.

Unilever acquired Vaseline in 1987, and today the Vaseline brand offers so much more than the trusted petroleum jelly. The Vaseline Intensive Care range includes hand and nail moisturisers, body lotions and lip balms. While the Vaseline Intensive Rescue range is designed to soften skin on contact and deeply moisturise to help promote the ideal environment for skin’s natural healing process to occur.
