How : How long have you had the split? How did it occur? Hard to tell why it is not healing, but you have to remember that the lips are constantly moving (eating, speaking, etc) and that movement does not allow for the tissue to heal easily. You may want to see your physician to have it evaluated.

Petroleum jelly: You can use petroleum jelly, it is a bit easier on the tender lip skin than either of the other things you've tried. Lip skin should heal quickly.
