Yes that sounds right Lisa. I have just smelt mine and it doesnt smell of anything particular, as you say, like 'pink vaseline'!!
Mine is in a small plastic clear tub about the size of a large cotton reel and I got it off a friend who is a dog groomer. It doesnt look like manufactuers packaging, so, I think he must have dispensed it into the smaller pots himself, but it serves its purpose. Found this site selling it cheaply at �3.50 a tub.
