The Vaseline journey started in 1859, when 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. Today, Vaseline products are available in over 60 countries across the world. Its rich heritage, healing qualities and efficacy have been passed on from generation to generation for over 130 years.
