Oxygen and lip balm

[Kathanddaisy2012]

Hi there, I have a 7month old little girl who has only just come out of hospital. She is on oxygen and I need some advise on lip balms which are safe to use. The scary fact is that the hospital always used to use vasoline!!! Anyone know of anywhere I can get a good product from?

I suppose I hadn't thought too hard about the ingredients as Vaseline is made from petroleum. Anyway, what about a bees wax product? Burt's Bees is great stuff here.

My little gel was also on oxygen for a while under no circumstances do you use anything with oil in! It can cause burns to the skin. You cannot use anything with petroleum in either we cudnt use a lot of creams (dd had eczema) it would probably be best to phone your oxygen supplier which I'm assuming is air Liquide? They will be able to advise you
