Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Emollient

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.

I know this isn't good for you but it's the only thing that has helped with my exzema. Have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find something that works but this is the only thing that helps.

MY LOVE <3
i use this EVERYWHERE including my face when it gets too dry. just apply a thin coat on top of your moisturizer and wake up with the smoothest skin
be careful this is NOT a moisturizer it does not hydrate.
use it to lock in moisture
