The Problem with Petroleum Jelly

When it comes to moisturising and protecting your skin, not all products are created equal. Many people reach for petroleum jelly as a quick fix, but there’s a growing awareness of its downsides. BalmNatural balms, on the other hand, offer a natural, effective alternative that prioritises both your skin and the planet.

1. It Creates a Barrier, Not Real Hydration
Petroleum jelly sits on top of your skin, creating a physical barrier. While this can lock in moisture, it doesn't actually hydrate or nourish your skin. It lacks the vitamins and nutrients your skin needs to repair and rejuvenate itself.

2. It’s a By product of the Oil Industry
Petroleum jelly is derived from crude oil, a non-renewable resource. Its production process involves refining, which can leave trace impurities, including harmful substances like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), known for their carcinogenic potential.

3. It Can Clog Pores
While petroleum jelly is often labeled as non-comedogenic, its thick, occlusive nature can trap dirt, sweat, and bacteria on the skin, potentially leading to clogged pores and breakouts.

4. It Lacks Skin-Healthy Ingredients
Petroleum jelly doesn’t offer any additional benefits beyond creating a seal. It doesn’t contain antioxidants, vitamins, or soothing plant-based oils to improve your skin’s health over time.

Why BalmNatural Balms Are Better

BalmNatural balms are designed to not only moisturise your skin but also nurture it with natural, nutrient-rich ingredients. Here's why they stand out:

1. Made with Skin-Loving Ingredients
BalmNatural balms are crafted with nourishing oils like Oat, Calendula, Tamanu, Chickweed, jojoba and Sunflower oil. Which provide hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits. These ingredients actively repair your skin while leaving it soft and smooth.

2. 100% Natural and Waterless
Unlike petroleum-based products, BalmNatural balms are free of synthetic chemicals and unnecessary fillers. The waterless formula ensures that every ingredient is highly concentrated and effective, delivering long-lasting hydration.

3. Non-Greasy Yet Protective
While petroleum jelly leaves a greasy residue, BalmNatural balms absorb beautifully into your skin without clogging pores. They create a breathable protective layer that locks in moisture while letting your skin heal naturally.

4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
BalmNatural’s commitment to sustainability means no reliance on non-renewable resources. The balms are vegan, cruelty-free, and packaged using eco-conscious materials, making them better for you and the planet.

Petroleum jelly might seem like a quick fix, but it lacks the nourishment, safety, and sustainability your skin deserves. BalmNatural balms deliver hydration and care the natural way, with powerful plant-based ingredients that work in harmony with your body.
