New Product: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil
The Good
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil is made with Brazilian nuts and almond oils. It smells amazing. I had wondered if it was going to have a suntan oil smell to it, because of the cocoa butter, but it did not. The blend of Brazilian and almond oils along with the cocoa butter surprisingly provides a very subtle and pleasant scent.
Vaseline provides a new gel body oil that has a light nutty smell. It offers such a relaxing aromatic experience that it can also be used for a wonderful, inexpensive massage oil. With the gel's consistency it glides easily onto your skin.
The Bad
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil has the ability to become extremely greasy. A little bit really does go a long way with this product, and although that aspect can be a money-saving-good-thing, it is not in this case. There is no way I could use this body oil as an everyday lotion replacement.
Unfortunately Vaseline did not completely win me over with their new creation. The resulting look of this body oil is not appealing. It made me an unnaturally greasy mess.
The Really Bad
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil will stain your clothes. You will need to be careful if you opt to give this oil a try. After I applied the oil to my arms, I realized that I had spilled some on my t-shirt. The stain did not come out.
It isn't All Bad
If you want an inexpensive massage oil, this really would be a great body oil to try. I would suggest that you make sure you do not use it around anything you do not want stained.
Although it would be great for back rubs, I would not recommend Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil to anyone for an everyday lotion.
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil comes in an easy grip plastic 6.8 fluid ounce see through bottle. The gel/oil is a light, pale brown with visible bubbles.
Typically the body oil sells for $6.99, and you can find it in your local department store. For more information on this product or other Vaseline products, visit www.keepingskinalive.com or www.unilever.com.

Post a CommentSo glad I found this site! I'm pregnant so was kind of worried when I broke out in a rash on my stomach and chest and the only thing I've done differently is use this oil! I used it for about a week and now I'm so itchy, red..worse after a hot shower. I'm back to just palmers cocoa butter for sure!
I have hives everywhere I put the lotion.
I broke out in a vicious rash, bumps , blisters, dry patches, extremely itchy , after using this poison. I cant believe how bad this gel has damaged my skin. Im in on the class action law suit contact me at mcampent@gmail.com
I've call Vaseline to make a complaint and receive a complaint number. I recorded the phone call so they couldnt say I didnt file a complaint. This product is very, very harmful!!
Really like this product UNTIL I developed a horrible rash everywhere! I've been taking antihistamine for 2 days now and it still is bad. Looks like I rolled in poison ivy! It should be removed from the market.
Buyer beware! I used Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Body Gel on my arms and legs after I purchased it... and it seemed to be a little greasy but I thought it was helping my dry skin. So then I decided to try it on my neck and chest and back and I've broken out in a horrible rash on my chest and neck. It's so greasy and difficult to take off the skin, that I hope I haven't further aggravated the rash just trying to get the darn stuff off! Don't buy this! It's going back to the store!
Yes, this stuff does break you out in rashes. I thought this would be a great product for stretch marks and other blemishes on the skin. However, I broke out in rashes on my stomach, arms and upper legs. I did not inch from the rashes, but I did not know where they came from, but reading online now I know.
Initially, it was very good. 1) Smelled nice. 2) Moisturized and smoothed excellently. 3) Made skin glow. Until I broke out in a horrible, itchy, angry, red, rash. It's nearly a week since it appeared, and there is no sign of it going away. I'm miserable and can't stop scratching. BEWARE of this product!
OH MY GOD!!!!!! I cant belive the stories that I read on this site. It was a week ago that I went to the emergency room because my neck, arms, chest and my stomach was all broken out with some type of red bumps. They were itchy. I was freak out. The doctors diagnois me with hives. I thought it was the medication that I was on. I was given benadril and predizone and tagement for the hives. This is weird because I didnt come on this website for this issue. I came on the website to see if this product take your hair out. Because I use this product on my daughter's hair and its shedding like crazy! Oh my God! This product my be the cause of my daughter's hair shedding and my hives! I need to call the complaint hotline for this product right now!!! please reach me @ shimeikamcgraw@yahoo.com if anyone is filing a class action lawsuit. If my daughter hair gets any worst. I think it will be a lawsuit in the making!!!!!
(cont.) alternate my food. I had to get medication through iv, and thankfully a few hours later it was gone.
This product created such emotional distress to me, I really freaked out so I want to share my experience and warn people: DO NOT USE THIS GEL, it gave me the first rash and worst experience I ever had with skin product.
Thanks to all the posts, I feel much bette knowing I am not alone in this situation.
If you consider a class action lawsuit, please contact me at bokemla@gmail.com
I just want to raise awareness that this product is toxic, and hope nobody has to go through what I -and others- did
THIS PRODUCT GIVES RASH - PLEASE BE AWARE & READ BELOW
This is the first time I ever leave a comment on a site, but I have to share the awful experience I went through because of Vaseline moisturizing gel. I used it after I had exfoliated my skin. I used Vaseline regular aloe moisturizer before and had no problem, but with the gel is a different story.
First I thought that the stickyness of the gel when I applied it on the skin was odd, but I still put a big amount allover arms, chest, back, and legs at night.
The very next day I started to see this weird rash on my inside arms wrists and elbows. After a few hours I went to check the rest of my body and it started to develop on my back.
I thought it's ok, I will just take a shower and it will go away. BUT the next day it was MUCH WORST, I had my entire back covered of a nasty itchy rash, as well as arms and legs!
I freaked out and had to go to the ER and they diagnosed HIVES, and I am sure it is from this product, as I didn't alt
