Baby Protecting Petroleum Jelly

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Vaseline Baby Protecting Petroleum Jelly scores 47/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Vaseline Baby Protecting Petroleum Jelly lists 2 ingredients, starting with Petrolatum and Fragrance. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 Vaseline Baby Protecting Petroleum Jelly lands mid-scale — below the typical score in diaper cream, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in diaper cream is Motherlove Organic Nipple Cream at 100/100.
