Product Information

We therefore recommend that you always pay attention to the information on our product packaging and check the ingredients listed there. Your doctor/pharmacist may suggest that you limit your time in the sun, avoid tanning booths and sunlamps, and use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. If you have any of the following health problems, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this product: skin cuts/infections/sores.

Aquaphor is more natural because of its water base so your skin totally absorbs it and can breathe, unlike Vaseline which just clogs pores and sits all greasy on top of your skin. Check the label for directions about any areas or types of skin where you should not apply the product (such as on the face, any areas of broken/chapped/cut/irritated/scraped skin, or on a recently shaved area of the skin). If your skin isn’t healing naturally or you are in any way concerned about your skin, consult your doctor for advice.

If your skin is prone to acne breakouts, look for the word "non-comedogenic" (will not clog pores) on the label. However, if you do not like its origin or its heavy feeling or anything else about it, avoiding it has never been easier. Wait until new tissue has formed (the medical term for this is re-epithelialisation) before applying the ointment.

It works alongside Panthenol which helps to speed up regeneration and repair while also moisturising skin.Some products (such as zinc oxide, white petrolatum) are used mostly to protect the skin against irritation (such as from wetness). Pro-Vitamin B5 is a goodie that moisturises the skin, has anti-inflammatory, skin protecting and wound healing properties.
