Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy Skin Protectant is a multi-purpose solution for many skincare needs. Aquaphor is the #1 dermatologist recommended brand for dry, cracked skin and minor wound care (1), and this body moisturizer ointment soothes and helps protect skin to enhance healing from skin irritations such as minor cuts and burns, cracked cuticles and dry feet, heels, hands and lips. Aquaphor Healing Ointment can also help prevent chafing and help protect skin from drying effects of wind and cold weather. This skin ointment works by creating a protective barrier on the skin that allows for the flow of oxygen and excess fluid to create an ideal healing environment.
