i am 74 and very allergic to petroleum also. It is in virtually in everything that is not animal or vegetable. All things are Animal, Vegetable, or mineral. To make things soft or pliable or water resistant we most often add some form of petroleum. It is the cheapest and most versatile. I am not allergic to bees so bees wax is something I can use. I have to use animal or plant products for cosmetics, medicines. and things to be water resistant. Rubber is plant (vegetable) so I am not allergic to that. Most synthetic materials contain form of mineral. Mineral oil, polyester, eye ointments, and plastics all are some form of petroleum. I need to learn more chemistry to fully understand the amounts and refinements of petroleum. When I accept anything I look up things that I am not sure of. Petrolatum is a refined petroleum used in food and cosmetics. I can not completely avoid all petroleum so I make a huge effort to cut consumption to a minimum. I try to avoid anything that it is one of the first five ingredients.
