What is Petrolatum?

Aquaphor Original Ointment is a versatile topical treatment containing 41 g of petrolatum per 100 g. Ideal for skin protection and healing, it's a trusted choice for dry, cracked, or irritated skin. Discover its benefits for skin care and minor wounds.

What is Petrolatum used for?

Aquaphor Original Ointment is primarily used for skin protection and healing. It helps to create a barrier that locks in moisture, making it suitable for dry, cracked, or irritated skin. This ointment is often applied to minor cuts, burns, and scrapes to promote healing and prevent infection. It can also be used to soothe chapped lips and minor skin irritations. Many people use Aquaphor for its moisturizing properties, especially in harsh weather conditions.

What are the side effects of Petrolatum?

When applied topically, Aquaphor Original Ointment forms a protective layer on the skin. This layer helps to retain moisture, which can soothe dry, cracked, or irritated skin. Users often report a reduction in discomfort and improved skin appearance after regular use. The ointment is non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.

What precautions apply to Petrolatum?

Aquaphor Original Ointment is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place. Always follow the instructions on the label for safe and effective use.

What does Petrolatum interact with?

Aquaphor Original Ointment is generally safe for most users. However, it may interact with other topical medications. Avoid applying it over areas treated with other ointments or creams unless directed by a healthcare professional. If you are using other skin treatments, consult a healthcare provider before using Aquaphor to ensure compatibility.
