Dry lips, hands, elbows and barrier support over moisturizer.
Use briefly, patch test first, and keep expectations realistic.
What it is
A simple occlusive balm used to seal moisture on very dry spots — not a natural oil, but useful when explained honestly.
Best for
Dry lips, hands, elbows and barrier support over moisturizer.
How to use it safely
Do not use over dirty skin or active irritation. It seals moisture in; it does not hydrate by itself.
Simple ritual
Apply moisturizer first, then a rice-grain amount of petroleum jelly over the driest spot at night.
