Is modern day vaseline still a by-product of Petroleum? 103 viewsMay 15, 2024 0 LuckScout Member May 14, 2024 0 Comments I recently watched something explaining how they made vaseline from a waste product of petrol/gasoline. Not sure if it’s still the same nowadays. 4 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest 0 LuckScout Member Posted May 14, 2024 0 Comments Yes, Vaseline is still made of highly refined and purified petroleum. It has been around for more than 140 years and is still made basically the same way. You are viewing 1 out of 4 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login
