Vaseline® Skin Fund
The Vaseline® Skin Fund focuses on the brand’s ambition to improve the lives of those affected by skin conditions.
Skin conditions such as eczema often cause great discomfort and can have a negative impact on people’s well-being. Our Vaseline® skin care brand has set up the Vaseline® Skin Fund to focus the brand’s ambition to improve the lives of those affected by skin conditions.
The Fund aims to benefit 3 million people worldwide by 2012 by providing better access to knowledge, advice and support to those affected. The Fund works in two ways:
Educating medical professionals to enable them to give patients the latest advice on the prevention and effective treatment of skin conditions
Sponsoring partner charities and non-profit organizations to provide information and support directly to those affected by skin conditions
In 2008, the Vaseline® Skin Fund supported projects such as the Eczema and Sensitive Skin Education program, a website created in partnership with the National Eczema Association in the U.S. The site offers practical information on the care and treatment of eczema and sensitive skin.
The Fund is also sponsoring a Continuing Medical Education unit, accredited by the University of California, Irvine. The unit presents current, authoritative knowledge on skin care topics to dermatologists and other medical professionals.
