Alba Botanica Un-Petroleum Multi-Purpose Jelly for Dry Skin, Soothes Moisturize Softens, 100 g

Bought this product to replace an existing petroleum based version by another brand. This product far exceeded my expectations for performance and helps heal my dry skin with exactly the same performance but the added peace of mind that it is natural ingredients. I am so glad that I decided to try the other brand increased their price so it is saving me money too switching to this, will definitely be buying again going forwards

I have been looking for a good alternative to Vaseline and I'm happy with this! I love the texture, it's pretty simliar and feels more moisturising and it scores 100/100 on the Yuka app so I feel confident it's made of no-risk ingredients.

Bought this as I wanted to replace the Vaseline which is so useful for all kinds of things, with a natural, cruelty- free product. I haven’t found it as effective for my dry hands, especially the fingertips/cuticles, but I need to try it with cotton gloves and see how that works. I usually rub the excess on knees and elbows and that’s nice. Based on one review here, I used it to remove my eye make up and can honestly say it was the first time in countless years I haven’t woken up with sore eyes and spent the next day in discomfort. I honestly thought I might be allergic to make up, but suspected it would be okay with the right remover, so kept trying different ones. Can’t believe it, my eyes feel relaxed and comfortable all day. It also works brilliantly to clean the whole face at night (I press on a hot cloth a few times), and you don’t need a moisturiser after because it’s so thick. It even removes my new mascara which my old remover failed to do. Some people will dislike the thickness and the fact that it leaves a residue, but it really feels nourishing and protective, and I might actually develop a nightly skincare routine in the knowledge that nothing will irritate or itch! Now looking at the rest of the range as this is so good.

This is a great alternative for vaseline. A little expensive and the packaging isnt the best as the rub immediately split at the bottom on the first use, but product itself is great.

Great cruelty free version of Aquaphor. I was struggling to find a CF version and this, whilst not exactly the same, it is good enough. It is sticky and shiny and I would only use it at night. A little goes a VERY long way!

Returning product as I had a bad reaction to the high % of castor oil in it. I wish sellers would publish lists of ingredients. I'd still return it if I'd had no reaction. It smells vile and an unpleasant texture. Back to petroleum jelly for me.

Having read other reviews, I was worried this might be too thick and hard to apply on the skin. But I think it's easier to apply than the usual petroleum jelly. It comes out of the tube smoothly and a tiny amount goes a very long way. There is a bit of an unusual smell, but it's not offensive. I like this jelly and am happy with the purchase. Great replacement for the other stuff!

I bought this stuff years ago. Applying a tiny bit to my lips before going to sleep always fixes dry skin around the edges of my mouth or lips in a single night. Its pure magic.

I bought my first tube of this at Whole Foods several years ago & was so happy to have found it . I rarely get out these days & can't make it to WF, so I got the brilliant idea of looking for it on Amazon. And of course there it was. The tube design has changed (does not look like the image online), but I think it's the same recipe. I have sleep apnea & thin skin, so I have frequent nose bleeds from the dry air in the CPAP machine. When I use this product in my nostrils, it makes me less apt to bleed because it softens the skin. If you use it for this, make sure the clean it out of your nose completely before you put on your CPAP, or you could contaminate the machine. This is a very nice, gentle product.

Good

It’s perfect! I don’t usually write reviews, but this was a life saver that I need to share. My son has eczema and often gets diaper rashes. I found many of the zinc oxide options, including the burts bees, very drying to his skin causing further irritation. Alba’s un-petroleum jelly is amazing! Protects my son from rashes, keeps his skin moisturized, and keeps a barrier from his poops to his skin (he’s a toddler and poops 3x a day!). It’s so easy to wipe off and apply again unlike zinc oxide. I love it! Thank you so for making such a wonderful product!
