Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, is renowned for its ability to soften and smooth rough, dry skin, making it an effective ingredient for addressing issues such as chapped lips, dry elbows, cracked heels, and rough patches on the hands and feet.
In addition to petrolatum, anti-cracking moisturizing ointments may contain other nourishing ingredients such as glycerin, lanolin, shea butter, or various botanical extracts.
These ingredients work synergistically to replenish moisture, soothe inflammation, and promote healing, leaving the skin feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated.
The ointment's thick, emollient texture provides long-lasting hydration and protection, making it ideal for use on areas of the body prone to dryness and cracking.
To use:
simply apply a generous amount of the ointment to clean, dry skin, focusing on areas that are particularly dry or prone to cracking.
Massage the ointment gently into the skin until fully absorbed, and reapply as needed throughout the day, especially after washing hands or bathing.
