5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!, April 17, 2009

This review is from: Un-Petroleum Multi-Purpose Jelly 3.50 Ounces (Misc.)

This is by far one of my most favorite products now! I purchased this from another website (Vitacost.com) at a good price. I was searching for a product to use as an all-over moisturizer (literally, from head to toe) and I came across this product on that website. From previous purchases of Alba products, I already knew that the product would be all-natural, which is what I wanted it to be. I also wanted it to not contain petroleum or any petroleum-based products, such as propyl glycol, mineral oil, etc. I am a medical doctor and a former chemist, so please allow me to give you a brief scientific/health perspective. At the microscopic level, applying petroleum to your skin is like wrapping it in plastic; your cells are unable to breathe. Petroleum is really toxic to our skin, but it is cheap to manufacture, which means that more products can be made from it and sold at cheaper prices. Hence, the multi-billion dollar beauty industry which has clearly profited so much from developing and distributing petroleum-based products. I wish to God, I had heard about and began to use this product years ago! Apparently (as mentioned by the other reviewer), Alba's Unpetroleum has been around for at least 10 years! Well, after the overnight results I have seen in using this amazing product, it will become a regular household staple. I use this as a baby lotion and hair moisturizer for my son. I use it on my hands, my feet, and more importantly, on my scalp for my hair. It is a great moisturizer for the skin/scalp, especially for African descendants because we tend to have dry skin/scalp. There is absolutely NO oily residue or build-up in your hair. I have dredlocks. So, I have replaced using other products, which may have contained petroleum and/or mineral oil (like Murray's beeswax), in place of this. This product contains the following ingredients: castor oil, coconut oil, beeswax, and Vitamin E. THAT'S IT! All natural ingredients! It does have a slight smell of castor oil, which is not overpowering and the smell of it fades within a minute or so after applying it. The texture is JUST LIKE any petroleum jelly that you are familiar with. But, it contains absolutely no petroleum! I love this product and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's simpy the BEST!, February 20, 2007

This review is from: Un-Petroleum Multi-Purpose Jelly 3.50 Ounces (Misc.)

I've been using this product for over 10 years. It does everything a petroleum jelly does but without all the nastiness of using a by-product of the sludge at the bottom of an oil barrel!

This item is pure and natural and has almost no scent or flavor. I would highly recommend it to fully replace the more toxic conterpart of petroleum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very hydrating but tad greasy, October 15, 2009

This product definitely hydrates in an instant. However, only use it at bedtime on eyes and forehead. spreads funky, but when I woke up in the morning I looked so radiant (not my normal morning look).
