  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.

  Oenothera Biennis (evening Primrose) Root Extract

  Evening primrose extract, derived from the seeds of Oenothera biennis, is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—an omega-6 fatty acid essential for maintaining skin barrier integrity. It has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that help calm irritation, making it especially beneficial for conditions like eczema, rosacea, and reactive skin. Evening primrose extract is used to reduce skin redness, sensitivity, and discomfort by reinforcing the lipid matrix and improving moisture retention. It may also help regulate inflammatory cytokines, contributing to fewer flare-ups in sensitive or post-procedure skin. This extract supports smoother, more resilient skin with consistent use.
