Waxelene Original Aerated Balm Large Jar, Organic Multipurpose Ointment the Petroleum Jelly Alternative Eczema Dry Sensitive Skin Face Moisturizer

I first came across this product nearly 9 years ago at Whole Foods, It’s an excellent product. The price of it back then? $25 per 9 ounce jar. I used this product as a diaper ointment for my son for a few years. Fast forward a few years my daughter was born and I decided to continue this product because of such great success for my son. By this time, Whole Foods no longer carried it and I purchased it directly. The price: $50 per 9 ounce jar. So I decided to take the 5 jar deal at $40 per 9 ounce jar. That lasted a few years. Here we are today. The price per 9 ounce jar is $80 and no special deals. No buy more, save more. Nothing. I suspect despite product success the company is having financial shortfalls or experiencing an abundance of greed. For a product that works well, I recommend. These next 2 jars I buy will hopefully be my last cause that’s some seriously expensive but ointment. For a product that is overpriced I do not recommend. A 9 ounce mixture of beeswax, soybean oil, rosemary oil, and vitamin E oil, organic or not, don’t cost $80.

Amazing stuff, great for bloody nose to prevent future nosebleed. We used it for many years for our son. Now, price is 200% increased. Too bad, We can't afford this anymore.

Ahhh! Those are my cracked hands after a dose of Waxeline. I love this stuff because a tiny dab makes your hands soft and supple, and the jar seems to last forever. Except the last jar I bought lasted less than one day. I was traveling home and bought a jar at a local drugstore for a very small amount of money (on sale). I confidently packed it in my luggage, and headed off for Ronald Reagan Airport. I never thought I'd get stopped by the TSA. The agent honed right in on the jar, and even though it was still sealed with plastic around the cover, I was told that it was a "liquid or gel" and had to be confiscated.Well, not exactly. I could get out of line, leave the airport and go to a post office and mail it home, then return to the airport, get back in line and go through security a second time without the Waxelene, missing my flight. Or I could check the tiny bag I had used for my overnight visit. to do that, I'd also have to leave the line, get in the airport line to check the tiny bag, get back in the security line and miss my flight. The gotcha for most of the options is that I was in a wheelchair, which limits my speed through the airport. Not to mention that the airport wheelchair-pusher didn't seem really thrilled by my having to go back through a huge terminal, ride a bus to the main terminal and get in line to check a bag. I asked what made it a liquid or gel, since it clearly wasn't either. She opened the jar, got a metal rod and shoved it into the cream. Apparently, being able to shove the rod into the substance made it a liquid or gel.I love this stuff, but it was smarter and easier for me to buy it through Amazon. I did exactly that, and am a happy campette! Now I am older and wiser and know where I can get my Waxelene fix.

Well...this stuff is just the best kept secret out there. I have waited a while to write a review because I am always concerned that my favorite little natural products will get too popular and then swallowed up by one of the corporate big guys only to change their formula and ruin my life! But alas, it is selfish of me to keep this little gem to myself. Simple put, this is the BEST vaseline alternative out there. Hands down. I have used other options because I love what vaseline does. It is a perfect skin protectant and moisture barrier. I discovered that using vaseline was an excellent preventor of diaper rash when my kids were babies and staved me off from having to use those medicinal creams. It also was a great overnight option for my very dry feet or our family's chapped lips. But then I became leary of petroleum jelly and how it may harm out bodies. So I set out to find a petroleum-free product. I have tried all the options found in big-box stores but most feel VERY sticky and waxy. baby-ganics makes a decent one, but I didn't like it enough to keep buying it once my little one was older. So I kept searching. Funnily enough, this one is called Waxelene and it is the least waxy of them all! It has a perfect texture. It is thick and very pronounced like you would expect from something that is a petroleum jelly alternative, but it doesn't leave you feeling like a lint-roller once you have applied it. I initially bought it in the small tubes in a local store to try it as a lip balm. I then became obsessed and bought them for everyone I knew....AND THEN I FOUND THE JAR! BUY THE JAR! You will love it. It has a clean, pleasant smell, a small dab works great on the lips and it eventually absorbs. It provides the moisture barrier that you are looking for, but you can feel really good about knowing that it's safe. BUY the Jar...trust me!
