Frequently Asked Questions
What's Aquaphor good for?
Aquaphor Healing Ointment is excellent for protecting and healing dry, cracked, or irritated skin. It creates a protective barrier that allows skin to retain moisture and recover from minor burns, cuts, scrapes, and chapped lips. It's also commonly used for tattoo aftercare.
Is Aquaphor just Vaseline?
No, Aquaphor is not just Vaseline. While both are petrolatum-based ointments, Aquaphor contains additional ingredients like lanolin alcohol, glycerin, and bisabolol, which provide enhanced moisturizing and healing properties compared to plain petrolatum.
What are the negative side effects of Aquaphor?
Aquaphor is generally safe, but potential side effects include allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to lanolin or other ingredients. In rare cases, it can also trap bacteria if applied to unclean skin, potentially leading to infection. Cleanse the area before application.
Is Aquaphor good for newborns?
Aquaphor is often recommended for newborns to treat diaper rash and dry skin. Its gentle formula and protective barrier help soothe irritation and promote healing, but always consult with a pediatrician for specific concerns or conditions.
