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.

This ingredient comes from potassium salt derived from sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a natural antibiotic and effective against fungus.
Both potassium sorbate and sorbic acid can be found in baked goods, cheeses, dried meats, dried fruit, ice cream, pickles, wine, yogurt, and more.
You'll often find this ingredient used with other preservatives.

The best lip balm I've tried so far. It is pricey but really lives up to the word 'salve'. It's lightweight, soothing, and gives a subtle shine to my lips. I have very dry and cracked lips and this helped give relief. It also has a weird and light scent that might put off some people but personally does not bother me. I won't be using it anywhere else because based on the ingredients list, it Show more
Thick gel but can easily spread. Very moisturizing. Has some black bits which irritate me a bit when rubbed too much, but it’s not a big issue. Can be used to moisturize other dry areas too. I also use this on minor cooking burns. Would repurchase after I finish 3 tubes
