Do a search on the archives here. There have been discussions and recommendations of this.
Three Francesconi (CMA) espresso machines - Rossi, San Marco, LaCimbali, Faema and 2 Mazzer Major grinders- CoffeeTech Maggionlino, Hottop, Alpenröst and HW Precision roasters. I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

Engineering supply shops that sell bearings will also have food grade grease in stock. Catering repair services will have it too.

Most lip salve's are petroleum based.
I imagine his could cause ones O-ring to degrade if it was made of rubber.

Yup, we occasionally used vaseline
on parts that did not contact the coffee in the old superauto (may it rest in peace), specifically the plastic 'runners'. Fortunately no rubber nearby, so it worked fine.

And I was always led to believe that Vas was unsuitable for internal use.
