The Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy is a multi-purpose skin protectant formulated with 41% petrolatum to soothe and help heal extremely dry, chapped, chafed, or cracked skin. Designed for face, lips, hands, heels, cuticles, and minor wound care, this fragrance-free aquaphor healing ointment creates a semi-occlusive barrier that locks in moisture while allowing oxygen flow, supporting the skin's natural recovery process across daily concerns and post-procedure care.
Why This Healing Ointment Works
Different from a lotion or cream, this water-free ointment combines a 41% petrolatum base with humectants like glycerin and panthenol to do two things at once. The petrolatum forms a protective shield that prevents transepidermal water loss, while the supporting actives draw and hold moisture deeper in the skin. The result is comfort within hours and visible improvement to dry, irritated skin over 24 to 48 hours.
Ideal For
This advanced therapy ointment is suitable for adults, teens, and babies over three months who deal with extremely dry skin, eczema-prone patches, chapped lips, cracked heels, dry cuticles, windburn, and minor cuts or burns. It is also widely recommended as aftercare for new tattoos, post-laser treatment, and chemical peel recovery. Fragrance-free, preservative-free, and non-comedogenic, it suits sensitive skin and most skincare routines in the UAE climate.
• Petrolatum 41% (Active Skin Protectant): The clinically proven base that creates a breathable barrier to support the skin's natural healing environment.
