Petrolatum
Low Risk
Non-comedogenic · Non-irritating
Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is one of the most effective occlusive agents in skincare, forming a semi-permeable barrier on the skin that dramatically reduces transepidermal water loss. It is the gold standard for wound healing and barrier repair. The USP-grade petrolatum used in cosmetics is refined and considered safe.
