Vaseline — Embody Balms

In the New Year, Vaseline will become a ritual object for Gen Z’s self-expression. We’re a way to care for both skin and spirit. With every application, Gen Z won’t just moisturize—they’ll embody their intentions, turning a humble balm into a life hack for personal progress. It’s skincare with a purpose, designed for a generation that wants their routines to mean more.
