Vaseline Honey scented petroleum jelly

Vaseline is one of the world's most iconic skin care brands, best known for its signature petroleum jelly. The brand's history dates back to 1859 when Robert Chesebrough, a chemist, discovered a natural byproduct of the oil drilling process that had skin-healing properties. He refined this substance and branded it as Vaseline in 1872 in the United States.

Over the decades, Vaseline expanded from simple jars of jelly to a wide array of lotions, creams, and specialized lip care products such as the honey-scented variant shown. While the brand originated in the United States under the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, it became a global powerhouse through a series of mergers and acquisitions, notably the 1987 acquisition of Chesebrough-Ponds by the British multinational Unilever.

Today, Vaseline is a core brand in Unilever's personal care portfolio. Manufacturing is conducted across multiple international sites including facilities in the United Kingdom, the United States, and various other regions to serve local markets globally. Ownership remains with Unilever, which manages the brand's distribution and innovative product expansions from its dual corporate headquarters.
