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.

I've been using the cocoa butter lip therapy for years. It does feel a bit thick and oily, but it's been so long that I don't mind it much anymore. The older I get the dryer I get, so this definitely helps keep my lips nice and hydrated.

It’s like an upgraded Vaseline, not quite as sticky and greasy feeling but still very much an ointment.
It is sooo soothing for chapped lips and dry spots. I have to be careful not to get any on my chin because it does give me whiteheads there.
