Infused petroleum jelly??

Hello fellow stoners, my grandad asked me for some advice today, and in my 10 years of reading/cooking with cannabis, I've never heard of infused petroleum jelly.

Back story:

I got my granddad hooked on the herb a few years back, he smoked with me for the first time when he was around 85, he's creeping up on 90 and going strong. He grows his own and makes his own butter, got him hooked on that as well, because smoke hurt the lungs.

I've been making canna balm lately which I would give him and my gran to try and they love it, they can feel the difference on the joints and muscles. I use coconut oil and natural wax as a base, coconut oil obviously for the fat base.

Now petroleum jelly is a fat, right? But is it a good enough fat to hold THC and CBD?

My granddad would like to infuse his own petroleum jelly to use as a "skin cream" basically. He said he'll add water with the herb and infuse it until the water evaporates.

Thank you for reading, looking forward to the responses.

Is it alright to use petroleum jelly/vaseline for chaffing from a pad?

Is it likely to somehow enter the vagina if I apply on outer labia? Are there better suited alternatives for this? I need a long term solution since the chaffing happens every time

Do you guys think he has mites? The photo of feet is at the end (swipe). He was itching his feet 3-4 days ago. I have put some petroleum jelly after (feet). 1time everyday. He stopped itching it afterwards and is completely normal. Now I am concerned about the beak.Do you think it is a healthy beak? reddit.com/gallery/qv5b32

alternatives to petroleum jelly

so i recently bought this product - Un-Petroleum Jelly and it is amazing for keeping my daughter's diaper area from getting irritated, especially overnight.

but then i was re-reading the ingredients--beeswax! ugh. totally not vegan. has anyone tried a similar product that is vegan? i know regular petroleum jelly technically is (i think?) but i don't want to use it since it's... petroleum.

Petroleum jelly seems like it should be toxic and Vicks should like melt your brain or something. It's surprising how completely safe it is.

If vaseline petroleum jelly is dermatologist recommended, then what's up with all these people checking for petroleum-free beauty products? Have the dermatologists suddenly changed their minds?

Please excuse me for being off-trend when it comes to beauty, but I just notice that my jar of vaseline jelly says "dermatologist recommended" on it and I know lots of doctors will actually tell you to apply it over stitches post-op to promote healing etc.

But now i'm seeing alot of people searching for petroleum free products and a lot of products advertising how they DON'T use petroleum in them. Specifically lip balms.

People are avoiding petroleum skincare stuff like its evil or something.....am I missing something? Have the dermatologists changed their minds and decided that petroleum was the root of all skincare evil?

Does anyone know how to get cigarette stains out of alabaster? Tried petroleum jelly like it said online, but the other suggested things sounded like a bad idea, like vinegar. I cleaned all the gross nicotine buildup stuff with rubbing alcohol but none of this will come off with it.

LPT: whenever you're exiting out of a body of water, clean your ears really good. For extra safety, wear snug earplugs or cotton balls smeared with petroleum jelly while showering or swimming. Ear infections feel awful and this is a way to prevent them if you're prone to them

I learned that im really prone to swimmers ear recently, and I'm just getting over a really bad bout of it. The pain is unlike any other for something so preventable.

Petroleum jelly

I have some very old petroleum jelly. As in, expired 4 years ago, old. Anyone have any ideas on what to do with it? I'm about to have a baby and thought about using it for diaper rash prevention but with it being so old I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
