The hardest part about being a mother is seeing your child in pain and not been able to help them…. even worse when they can’t tell you what’s wrong.
Seeing my 11-month-old son scratch his ears and head uncontrollably because of his eczema breaks my heart. He can’t even really explain what he is feeling.
We found out Kiaan has eczema when he was a few months old.
At first, I didn’t even think it was eczema. I thought he just had really dry skin that needed to be moisturized often but as time went by, his skin started getting worse. He became irritable and niggly. I knew something wasn’t right.
No one in my family has eczema so this was new to me and I had no idea as to what to do. I ended up surfing the internet for hours looking for information about eczema, its history and what products could be used to soothe it.
My husband and I ended up purchasing 5 different products for my son hoping that one would work!
3/5 worked but one made a huge difference.
A product I never thought could be used for eczema.
As a mother, you try your best to give your child the best that you can.
I made sure I did everything I could for my son. I took him to the pediatrician, to the dermatologist, I did the allergy tests and I even bought the best products I could afford to help end his pain. But sometimes it isn’t always possible.
What happens to the children in poverty communities who struggle with serious skin problems? I know – I couldn’t believe that Vaseline was the answer.
For more than 140 years, the restorative power of Vaseline has been generously passed down from generation to generation. Vaseline is not only economical but effective. It creates a protective barrier on the skin that allows effective healing.
This iconic and caring heritage has created an ideal platform for Vaseline to continue inspiring and helping people, offering expert advice and leading skin care solutions.
Vaseline has partnered with international medical aid organization Direct Relief and is on a mission to help restore the skin of 5 million people living in vulnerable conditions by 2020.
The Vaseline Healing Project is just one way that Unilever has pledged to create a brightFuture for all people, through its commitment to the Global Goals for Sustainable Development and its own Sustainable Living Plan, adopted in 2010.
Did you know there are only 207 dermatologists in South Africa, due to a chronic shortage of training?
In KZN, there are just 30 trained dermatologists serving a community of 10.7 million people, yet up to 85% of patients go to public clinics for help with their skin problems.
Ntokozo Ngubane, a local KZN community nurse said that, “Many kids here have HIV and so they get serious skin problems. I see it all the time. It is a big problem. They get worse when they are not treated.”
Ntokozo is one of the 372 nurses, doctors and other medical professionals who attended a series of dermatological training days in May this year, hosted by the Vaseline Healing Project at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital Nurses’ Hall and headed up by Dr Ncoza Dlova, Head of Dermatology at the Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine.
The training missions championed essential skincare by providing dermatological training for nurses and effective treatment for their patients. This national initiative is set to bring training, treatment and relief to all South Africans in the upcoming months, highlighting how one ordinary jar of Vaseline BLUESEAL can make an extraordinary difference.
Vaseline wants to empower the men and women on South Africa’s frontline of healthcare – the nurses who often provide the first link between our local healthcare system and communities.
Vaseline will also be visiting 100 schools in local KZN communities. Thousands of students will benefit from the distribution of 101 000 jars of Vaseline BLUESEAL and learn that serious skin conditions should and can be avoided. In addition, Vaseline will donate First Aid Kits to each school and provide dermatological training to the school nurses.
Vaseline understands that, without care, the simplest skin conditions can turn into serious issues that make it difficult to do the simplest everyday tasks.

I expereince this myself. I think I need toto get some vaseline!
I love me some Vaseline and the commercial with Viola Davis they’re running. I had a cold last week and I instantly reached for it to sooth my nose from blowing it so much. – Yolonda
I love how beneficial Vaseline is! It is really important that we always have some vaseline on hand.
My daughter has eczema and now she is 8 and it is much better. I hope your son continues to improve.
Vaseline is amazing stuff! I didn’t realize there was a GermSafe version!
I didn’t know that Vaseline was helping people around the world but I am not surprised. I have always loved their products and will continue to buy them.
I was surprised when our pediatrician suggested it. Since then, I’ve used it for eczema and rashes. My kids have very dry skin and it offers immediate relief.

Copper scrap processing innovations Copper has been used in building and home decor for thousands of years. Its unique properties, including its malleability, strength, and corrosion resistance, have made it a popular choice for various applications. In ancient civilizations such as Egypt, copper was used for decorative objects and religious artifacts. It was also used for plumbing and roofing, as it was able to withstand harsh weather conditions. During the Renaissance period, copper began to be used more prominently for decorative purposes in architecture. One of the most famous examples of this is the copper dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, which was completed in 1590. In the 19th century, copper became a popular choice for roofing due to its durability and longevity. It was also used for decorative elements such as spires, finials, and gutters. Copper continues to be a popular choice in home decor. It is often used for kitchen sinks and pots due to its antimicrobial properties. It is also used for lighting, furniture, and wall decor. One of the most iconic uses of copper in modern architecture is the exterior of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the building’s shimmering copper exterior has become an instantly recognizable landmark. Overall, the history of copper in building and home decor is a rich and varied one. Its versatility and aesthetic appeal have ensured that it remains a popular choice for architects and designers today Ferrous metal recovery Copper wire scrap suppliers Copper scrap purification processes Scrap Copper yard Copper scrap material analysis Metal waste recycling

Export requirements for Copper scrap Copper alloys are widely used in electrical applications due to their superior thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. While there are many different copper alloys available, the following three are considered the best for electrical applications: 1. Copper Alloy C10100 – This alloy, also known as oxygen-free electronic (OFE) copper, is highly pure and contains less than 0.0005% oxygen. As a result, it exhibits excellent electrical conductivity and is particularly well-suited to applications where high conductivity is essential, such as in circuit boards and wires. 2. Copper Alloy C11000 – Also known as electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper, this alloy is the most commonly used in electrical applications. It contains a small amount of oxygen and is valued for its high electrical conductivity, good ductility, and high thermal conductivity. It is used in a wide range of electrical components, including transformers, conductors, and connectors. 3. Copper Alloy C26000 – This alloy, known as cartridge brass, contains about 70% copper and 30% zinc. It is well-suited to electrical applications that require good strength, such as electrical connectors and switches. While it is not quite as conductive as C10100 or C11000, it is still highly conductive and offers good corrosion resistance. Ultimately, the choice of copper alloy for an electrical application will depend on the specific requirements of the application, including conductivity, strength, and corrosion resistance. It is important to consult with a knowledgeable supplier or engineer to ensure that the appropriate copper alloy is selected for the intended use Brass scrap buyer Copper scrap environmental impact Copper scrap exportation Copper scrap industry regulations Copper bar recycling Metal waste management services
