Full breakdown.
Aquaphor
Aquaphor is a skincare brand owned by Beiersdorf AG, the same German company that owns NIVEA and Eucerin. The Aquaphor Healing Ointment formula was developed in 1925 and has been a staple in dermatological care for nearly a century. Aquaphor Lip Repair is one of the most recommended lip products by dermatologists, largely because of its simplicity and effectiveness as an occlusive barrier. However, the primary ingredient in all Aquaphor products is petrolatum (41%), a petroleum-derived occlusive, along with mineral oil, ceresin, and other petroleum derivatives. While effective at sealing in moisture, Aquaphor's heavy reliance on petroleum byproducts means it offers no plant-based nutrition to the lip tissue.
