The original Vaseline is Vaseline Original Healing Jelly, also sometimes referred to as Vaseline Blue Seal Pure Petroleum Jelly. Many sources confirm this as the baseline formulation from which other Vaseline products, like lip therapies and specialized lotions, are derived. This original jelly is characterized by its 100% pure, triple-purified petroleum jelly base, known for its moisturizing and skin-protecting properties.
Several references highlight this original formulation:
- Vaseline.com explicitly refers to "Vaseline® Healing Jelly Original" as the original product, emphasizing its role in accelerating the skin's natural healing process. https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/p/vaseline-healing-jelly-original.html/00305212352009
- Amazon listings for Vaseline often feature "Original Petroleum Jelly" as a key descriptor. https://www.amazon.com/Vaseline-Blueseal-Petroleum-Jelly-Original/dp/B019MXNCFU
- The official Vaseline website showcases a range of products, but consistently positions the "Original" petroleum jelly as the foundation. https://www.vaseline.com/us/en/products.html
- Other retailers, like First Person Medical, explicitly describe their Vaseline product as "Pure Petroleum Jelly Original." https://www.firstpersonmedical.com/vaseline-pure-petroleum-jelly-original-for-all-types-of-skin-50ml.html
While Vaseline offers variations like lip therapies and specialized lotions, the core, foundational product remains the Original Healing Jelly. This is the starting point for the various product lines.
