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.

despite my oily skin my nose+lip area always gets super irritated in the winter time & this product has helped me out so much with this problem. i personally like this wayy more than the regular cream/gel aquaphor because it’s so easy to apply/wear both over & under makeup. the viral under-eye concealer hack works great.
this provides a pretty great, convenient way to apply Aquaphor. it absorbs into my skin fast, even when i apply a ton of product. sporadic use over the period of only a single day can make a huge difference in dry patches!
