I make my own natural version of petroleum jelly recipe as follows:

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup olive oil
14g grated beeswax
12 drops grapefruit seed extract

1. In a double boiler over simmering water and medium heat, combine the olive oil and beeswax, and heat until the wax has melted.

2. Remove mixture from the heat and add the grapefruit seed extract.

3. Beat with a hand mixer until creamy.

Makes 1/4 cup. Store in a glass jar with a screw-top. This jelly will keep for a year.
