Plant-based petroleum jelly: the natural alternative your skin deserves

When we think of petroleum jelly, the first thing that comes to mind is that thick, petroleum-derived ointment. But did you know that there's a completely natural, plant-based version, just as effective and much friendlier to your body and the planet?

Maxalli's vegetable petroleum jelly is a multi-purpose ointment made without a single drop of petroleum derivatives. Instead, we use plant-based ingredients with moisturizing, regenerative, and protective properties that surpass traditional petroleum jelly.

What is vegetable petroleum jelly made of?

Instead of paraffin or mineral oil, our formula is composed of a carefully selected blend of botanical oils and waxes:

• Castor oil: extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, it is thick, shiny, and has a strong affinity with skin and hair. It provides a protective layer without clogging pores.
• Cocoa butter: derived from cocoa beans, it provides softness, nourishment, and a delicious natural aroma.
• Coconut oil (glycerides): known for its moisturizing power, it helps soften dry areas and protect against water loss.
• Rapeseed (canola) oil: an ingredient rich in natural lipids that provides nourishment and a silky texture.
• Candelilla wax: obtained from a shrub native to northern Mexico, it gives firmness to the formula and replaces beeswax in a 100% vegan version.

All these ingredients are processed without refining or toxic chemicals, unlike petroleum, which needs to be highly treated to be suitable for cosmetic use.

Why switch to vegetable petroleum jelly?

1. Non-comedogenic and more compatible with your skin
   Unlike petrolatum, which can form an excessively occlusive barrier, our vegetable petroleum jelly allows the skin to breathe while protecting it.
2. True sustainability
   Every ingredient comes from renewable plant sources, many of them locally or regionally sourced.
3. More benefits, same use
   Moisturizes lips, face, heels, elbows, hands, beard, and even dry hair ends. But unlike traditional petroleum jelly, it also nourishes and softens with real active ingredients.
4. Ideal for the whole family
   Fragrance- and dye-free. Suitable for babies, adults, and sensitive skin.

Maxalli's vegetable petroleum jelly is not just an alternative: it's an evolution. A more natural, ethical, and effective way to care for your skin.
