Petrolatum
What is petrolatum?
A popular ingredient in moisturizing lotions and creams for babies and adults, petrolatum has long been considered one of the most effective moisturizing ingredients. It is FDA-approved for over-the-counter use as a skin protectant. Petrolatum is often referred to as the “gold standard” of occlusive ingredients because it creates a physical barrier that prevents moisture from leaving the skin.
