Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm is a dermatologically tested healing ointment designed to repair and protect dry, cracked, or irritated skin. This water-free formula creates a protective barrier while allowing skin to breathe and regenerate naturally. The balm contains glycerin and panthenol which work together to moisturize and speed up skin regeneration. The semi-occlusive protective barrier supports natural water vapor and oxygen transfer while strengthening skin's natural protective barrier. It is gentle enough for use on babies and can be applied as frequently as needed on affected areas. Clinically proven to enhance wound healing and repair very dry, cracked skin.
