What it is and what it does
Alastin Soothe & Protect Recovery Balm is designed to provide intense, soothing and protective care for compromised or post-procedure skin. This balm helps restore the skin's natural barrier, making it ideal for use after laser treatments, microneedling, or chemical peels. Its rich, emollient texture forms a protective layer over the skin, reducing irritation and aiding the healing process. Many users report that it calms redness and alleviates discomfort, making recovery more comfortable.
It’s especially recommended for those recovering from an in-office procedure, who have an abrasion or recent surgical scar, or have a patch of very irritated skin.
Formulated with powerful antioxidants, this balm also helps protect against environmental damage while promoting skin regeneration. The inclusion of a moisture-locking barrier ensures the skin stays hydrated, which is crucial for speeding up recovery and minimizing the risk of irritation. Its gentle formulation is suitable for sensitive skin, reducing redness and preventing moisture loss.
Petrolatum provides occlusion and protection while skin heals. Botanicals help soothe irritation.
Safe for all compromised or post procedure skin types.
Fragrance-free, paraben-free, formaldehyde free, and cruelty free

Key ingredients
Petrolatum
Petrolatum is one of the best occlusives, forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture, prevents transepidermal water loss, and supports wound healing. It’s noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, and is widely used for skin protection. Considered one of the best moisturizing ingredients, it is often misunderstood due to its petrochemical origin, but high-grade petrolatum is free of toxins and PAHs. In the U.S., only purified, high-quality forms are allowed in cosmetics, and it is included in the FDA's skin protectant monograph, recognized for its protective benefits.
Physalis Angulata Extract
Physalis Angulata Extract has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It contains withanolides, compounds that help calm irritated skin and reduce inflammation. This is why Physalis Angulata Extract is often used for soothing sensitive or reactive skin. Its antioxidant effects help protect skin from ultraviolet light and pollution. It may help improve skin texture and reduce redness.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Combination of hydrating coconut oil and glycerin to moisturize skin.
Shea butter, a rich plant-based oil, is celebrated for its thick, creamy texture and impressive skincare benefits. Packed with moisturizing fatty acids like stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids, it deeply hydrates and repairs the skin's barrier, making it ideal for dry and eczema-prone skin. Additionally, shea butter offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and UV-protective properties, while its antioxidant phenolic compounds provide anti-aging benefits and extend the product's shelf life.
A component of chamomile that is soothing, moisturizing, and humectant
An antioxidant and hydrating ingredient. Stabilizes Vitamin C.
