This is a big one for me. I need lots of Vaseline-enriched moisturizer to treat my scar tissue and have not yet found an alternative that my skin will accept. I follow your reasoning entirely but don't know what an alternative could be, nor did the dermatologists and doctors I've asked about it. Please help...

Depends what you mean by “treat” your scar tissue. What is the Vaseline “treating” and what is the end goal? If it’s an aesthetic goal, I stay away from personally recommending anything because that’s a rabbit hole I don’t want to wander down lol. Aesthetic manipulation is not aligned with my mission! But if it’s a medical/health goal, I think your situation applies to two of my above points: Petrochemicals are sometimes useful in medical settings. And you may have a personal relationship with petrochemicals for a particular reason and that is your personal choice.
It's purely medical. The Vaseline-stuff smells like hospital, on top of everything else. As soon as I find an alternative that does the same protective job, I am outta there.
