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 !
