I don't know if you are familiar with it, but it a non water soluble jelly made from a petroleum base. It is used as a lubricant and to seal skin away from moisture, like for chapped hands or lips. Smells rather nasty. -- Denny Rice, RN, IBCLC Dallas Texas USA *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
