It's fine... I mean, if you are eating a tube of it a day or something that's not good for you (although still not cancer-causing), but the small amounts that get in your mouth are perfectly fine.

I don't know about the causing cancer part, but I do know Vasaline lip balm tended in the long run to leave my lips more chapped than before. This may sound strange, but eating healthy food and drinking lots of liquids will help better than just about anything else.

I'm sure most of that stuff(lip gloss and such,that is) is petroleum based,too.Most cosmetics use dangerous chemicals.Really.You would be amazed.I would trust Vaseline much more because it is what it is and doesn't have a hundred ingredients.Beauty pageant contestants use to rub Vaseline on their teeth,so it shouldn't be that bad.

im not sure if your mom is right but i dont think she would have lied at you! Just go on the safe side and use something else instead of vaseline! Use lip smackers (i love those!!
