I dislike using "non-natural" products such as vaseline, liquid
paraffin etc. Vegetable oils such as olive oil are used
instead of the runny mineral products and vaseline is replaced
by pure lanolin (perhaps strict vegetarians wouldnt use this).
 
In fact, a mix of beeswax and lanolin plus a few drops of an aromatic
oil for scent produces a very pleasant if slightly sticky hand cream.
This mix was originally recommended (without the scent) for impregnating
hand made leather sheaths for hunting knives -- it was so nice on the
hands that I tried it as a hand cream !
