Why Petroleum Free?

• Petroleum jelly – a byproduct of the oil refining process – is not sustainable nor eco-friendly. As it cannot be metabolized by the body, it stays in the body as a contaminant, which can potentially pass on to children during breastfeeding [1].
• Potentially carcinogenic according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) [2].
• No beneficial qualities for nourishing skin where natural alternatives can do better.
• Potential Xenoestrogen presence may disrupt hormones balance, leading to estrogen dominance, which is linked to infertility, menstrual problems, accelerated aging, allergies, nutrient deficiencies, etc [3].
