The new Vaseline

When you hear the company name Vaseline, images of thick petroleum jelly being slathered on your face and legs by your mother probably spring to mind.
Vaseline has a new sleek line, known as Vaseline Cocoa butter which includes a thick cocoa butter scented lotion and a cocoa butter body gel. Both products work well to soften the skin and provide you with a silky smooth feeling.
However, the lotion leaves your skin with a little glow for a very short period of time while the gel formula has real staying power. The gel will keep your skin glowing for a much longer period of time.
Hint (Sometimes I will add a little unrefined coconut oil to the lotion to keep the shine effect going)
I actually purchase both products regularly because they work so well.
The large bottle of lotion is priced at $7.99, while the smaller tube is generally priced around $3.99.
The gel formula is priced at $7.39 for 6.3 ounces.
What do you think of this product?

I have the regular lotion, but I tried the gel on my hands once and I really liked it. I had a nice healthy sheen on my hands and the softness stayed through a cooking session and multiple hand washings.

I'm allergic to cones and would like to try my hand at making my own.

Ahhhhh this is a staple in my shower! The only thing I hate is that it it runs out so fast and I only use it in 'trouble' spots. They should definitely consider making it in larger sizes. And thanks for the CVS head's up, I will buy that one from now on so that I won't feel guilty about using ALOT at a time. Thanks.

Sbear welcome to the blog. Yes the cvs brand not only has the same scent but it has the exact ingredients as the vaseline brand. In fact the ingriedients are listed in the same order so the product is identical. I'm surprised CVS can get away with that..lol
Thanks for reading
