Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Petrolatum is more commonly known as petroleum jelly. It is created by mixing waxes and mineral oils.
This ingredient is effective at reducing water loss by 99%. This is because it is an occlusive. Occlusives create a hydrophobic barrier on the skin to prevent evaporation. This property makes it great for hydrating dry skin.
Pro tip: Use occlusives, such as this ingredient, on damp skin for the best results.
The quality or origin of petrolatum is only known when disclosed by the brand. Most cosmetic petrolatum has gone through several purification stages.
Another benefit of occlusives is it protects your skin against infection or allergies.
Petrolatum may not be safe for fungal-acne. Studies show mineral oil / petroleum leads to the growth of M. Furfur, a type of yeast.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment 7 ingredients
this is the only thing that works for my eczema (out of this, vaseline, and cerave healing ointment) and it’s a WONDER for my chronically chapped lips. they haven’t been even the slightest bit dry since i started using this. this is also the only eye cream i use! as i feel others are overpriced and do similar/worse work
A generous slathering nightly keeps my Sahara skin from being a crusty mess. I get compliments on looking much younger than my age…but that probably has more to do with being a child free dog lady who laughs on the regular. Your mileage may vary.

A classic for a reason. This product has helped me with so many skin concerns over the years. I’m a firm believer in Vaseline.
I think everyone know how good it is. I have nothing to add
