This ointment can be used to protect the skin to help heal minor cuts and scrapes and to soothe dry, chapped, irritated skin. It helps prevent chafing and helps protect skin from the drying effects of wind and cold weather. This skin protectant is also a moisturizing lip ointment, providing soothing relief to chapped lips. Formulated with 41% Petrolatum (skin protectant), this skin healing 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.
