Vaseline (1859)

A 22-year-old chemist named Robert Chesebrough was investigating an oil well in Pennsylvania when he heard that a jelly-like substance known as "rod wax" constantly got into the machines and caused them to malfunction. It also seemed that workers used rod wax to soothe cuts and burns on their skin. He took some of it home to experiment with.

As an interesting note: Cheseborough was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten a teaspoonful of it every day. He lived to be 96.
