Question

Hello Rabbi, I ordered flavored lip Vaseline from China and wanted to ask if it is permissible to use it without kosher certification, and what is the ruling on unflavored Vaseline? Thank you in advance and Shabbat Shalom.

Answer

Hello, 

Since the Vaseline has a pleasant taste, it is forbidden to use it on the lips without kosher certification. 

However, unflavored Vaseline is permissible to use without kosher certification.
