Our skin works hard to protect our bodies, but sometimes it can become very dry, cracked and irritated as a result. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin.

This skin ointment works by creating a protective barrier on the skin that also allows for the flow of oxygen and excess fluid to create an ideal healing environment. Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm can be used anywhere on both your face and body as an SOS skincare treatment.Soothes and helps protect extremely dry, chapped or chafed skin and lips caused by winter weather or frequent hand washing. Different from a body lotion or cream, this ointment is water-free, and soothes skin while creating a protective barrier that allows for the flow of oxygen to create an ideal healing environment. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. The soothing, transparent ointment is easy to apply and massages gently into problem areas of skin such as the knees and elbows, cracked knuckles and cuticles and cracked heels. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
