Just Like the Brand Name Except Poorly Packaged
Petroleum Jelly (often called &#34;Vaseline&#34;--a brand name) used to be considered the treatment for just about any skin related need. It was used to soften dry hands, cure chapped feet, control unruly eyebrows, heal sun or wind-burned skin and treat wounds. Simply apply the petroleum jelly liberally to your face or wherever you’ve been chapped or burned or injured and all would be fine. Today we have more sophisticated (and expensive) topicals and ointments, but it's good to see that petroleum jelly is still around.<br /><br />An Amazon Brand, Solimo Petroleum Jelly White looks and feels just like that well known brand. It is even in the same type container. However, the packaging process is suspect. None of the containers in the pack of four was completely full. In fact, there was significant air space in each leading me to believe that maybe 70% of the product was in each container. Some air space, of course, is to be expected, but not this much air space.<br /><br />Rather than tightly wrap each individual container, Amazon has elected to loosely wrap all four containers in plastic wrap. That caused some of the product to leak out causing the containers to feel greasy. This could explain some of the product loss, but certainly not all of it.<br /><br />As a petroleum jelly, Solimo Petroleum Jelly isn't bad. However, Amazon needs to reconsider how the product is packaged and wrapped so that the consumer gets the value that they paid for when they made the purchase.
