Petroleum gel: is a body lubricant, a good body builder, skin protective etc
Menthol has various uses, it cleanses the lungs when inhaled thereby inhibiting throat infection. In balm it gives a cool sensation especially if the place you are is airy.
It is also used for the production of mouth wash such as toothpaste and many other products.
Industrial camphor: it is used in balm production so that it can treat infection, relieve pain and itching in the body.
But getting original camphor is a challenged since so many impure ones are sold around. Impure camphor is very dangerous to our body-health-wise due to the chemistry of their production. It has so many negative effects such as kidney damage when inhaled. You can add it to your production if there is a way of not inhaling it.
