Summary

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented scores 30/100. The 'unscented' version skips the synthetic fragrance found in other Vaseline lotions, which is the single biggest win in the line. However the preservative system still relies on methylparaben + propylparaben (EU endocrine-disruption review), which alone is enough to keep the score in the 30s. The base is a standard petrolatum + glycol stearate + dimethicone occlusive stack with hydroxyethyl urea as a humectant booster. The Unilever marketing is 'micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly,' which is functionally accurate -- this is petrolatum suspended in a paraben-preserved cream. No fragrance is the only meaningful clean-beauty point of differentiation.
