Found an old A & D Ointment jar listing only 2 ingredients - Petrolatum and cod liver oil. In other words, Vaseline and cod liver oil. Which would actually BE perfect A & D Ointment. I made a small amount and, sure enough, that's what it was.
I would only make it in small amounts - rather than the huge jar I found - keeping the two ingredients clean and properly stored but it does make perfect sense. Cod liver oil IS, basically, vitamins A & D which makes an excellent antibact combination.
I may have written about this before (or meant to) and forgotten...LOL - I do have vague memory of CLO and Vaseline being A & D ointment...I used to use A & D on just about all skin conditions. Plus, of course, on the kid - whom I don't recall ever having diaper rash.
