However, I find that the oily residue is not that bad compared to other lotions—and it tends to feel much less oily after you let it dry/soak in for a few minutes. Dimethicone is also a nice moisturizer and is classified as a “skin protectant” by the FDA. Some lotions even list dimethicone as an active ingredient with the percentage included, though this particular lotion does not. Creams then have ingredients that enhance and maintain the natural oils in the skin, to better aid repair.

Two other common occlusive moisturizers are lanolin and mineral oil. However, a 2016 review notes that these ingredients may have a higher tendency to cause allergic reactions. Emollients Intrinsic ageing refers to how our skin is programmed to age, as a result of our genes. When the skin starts ageing, the epidermis starts to thin. This happens because collagen production slows down, resulting in a loss of elasticity in the skin. Cell turnover decreases; resulting in a dull complexion drier skin because sebum production is greatly reduced. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. What’s important to remember is that it’s not only the skin on the face that’s affected by the ageing process, but the skin on the body too. Dry, dehydrated skin is often the result of ageing, and applying a good body cream or Vaseline lotion every day after your bath or shower is essential for keeping the skin hydrated and supple.After application, a given moisturiser, or a lotionmay have different levels of efficacy when it comes to how long they last on the skin, and how long they continue to add the benefits in hydration or repair they offer.

I mainly use this lotion to moisturize my hands at night. It rubs in pretty nicely and has a nice and creamy consistency that helps protect my hands from eczema flareups. The label claims that it contains “micro droplets” of Vaseline petroleum jelly throughout the lotion base. This helps make it less oily than applying 100% petrolatum (Vaseline) so that it’s suitable for everyday use, while still delivering the amazing skin protective benefits of petroleum jelly. Dermatologists often recommend petroleum jelly and similar ointments as a treatment for atopic dermatitis. These ointments seal in moisture, thereby reducing the skin dryness and flakiness that contribute to itching.

The main concernwith nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbedinto the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreenswith nanoparticlesdo stay on the surface of the skin where they should be. It does not contain any added fragrance, and I couldn’t detect much of an odor from the normal ingredients at all.

As such, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) warn that people who are prone to acne may experience breakouts after applying Vaseline to the face.

The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxideare often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitishtint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns. Oliver, B., et al. (2017). Preapplication of white petroleum jelly to adjacent skin to prevent aluminum chloride-induced irritant dermatitis [Abstract]. Often, the manufacturers of skin care products will combine more than one type of moisturizer to enhance the moisturizing ability of the product. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less goodat 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safetyprofile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters). All of Vaseline’s moisturisers and body lotions have either a 48h or 72h lasting period depending on the product type, and your skin’s condition.

By speeding up wound healing, petroleum jelly may also prevent the formation of large, deep, or itchy scars. Sealing in other skin treatments Several different moisturizing ingredients are suitable for use on the face. They typically fall into one of three categories: occlusives, emollients, and humectants. A person can apply serums or other active ingredients to their skin before applying Vaseline as a moisturizer. The Vaseline will help seal in the other skin care products, allowing them more time to work on the skin. Cosmetic uses The AAD recommend applying Vaseline to parts of the face that are prone to dryness, such as the lips and eyelids. They suggest applying a small amount of Vaseline to slightly damp skin to help seal in moisture.
