Vaseline Original Petroleum Jelly

Vaseline is a world-renowned brand of petroleum jelly-based products. It was founded by Robert Chesebrough in the United States in 1870 after he discovered the healing properties of 'rod wax' used by oil workers. The brand has since become synonymous with skin protection and moisturizing.

While Vaseline was an independent American brand for many years, it was acquired by the multinational consumer goods company Unilever in 1987. Today, Unilever manages the brand globally, overseeing its production in numerous facilities worldwide to meet local market demands across hundreds of countries.

The product is manufactured in various locations including the United States, South Africa, India, and European countries. Ownership remains with Unilever, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom, making it one of the core brands in their extensive personal care portfolio.
