Petrolatum-based ointment locks moisture to soothe eczema and repair skin barrier.
What the community says
A thick petrolatum ointment that seals skin to prevent moisture loss and soothe eczema. It's ideal for cracked or irritated dry skin but has a strong medicinal smell that bothers some users. Not potent enough as the sole eczema treatment for everyone.
