The Vaseline journey began in 1859, when Robert Chesebrough, a chemist from New York, discovered a wonder jelly in the oil fields of Titusville, Pennsylvania in the US.
Over the next decade he perfected the formulation of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly before opening for business in 1870. Vaseline jelly quickly became known for its ability to protect and restore dry and damaged skin, and over the next century it became a staple of households around the world. To this day our heritage and our passion for understanding skin are at the heart of everything we do.
