No informed mother these days uses petroleum jelly on baby's bottom, because it is made from crude oil, and is incompatible with human skin. Yet most skin creams and lip balms contain Petrolatum and Paraffinum! Surely these are not very good for our skin?
Can anybody suggest any alternatives using natural oils only. I'm a man, and am looking for heel softening cream, hand & facial cream and lip balm. In Beijing.

For heel softening, and skin generally, look for pure aloe vera creams and gels. As for baby's bottom, I would use simple aqueous cream to preserve moisture, or zinc or titanium-based creams for nappy dermatitis.

About crack heels, I have tried the Ellgy Cracked heel cream. It is excellent and all natural. However, I live in HK and I don't know if you can find it in Beijing.
