Restorative Ointment

Designed to protect and comfort dry, compromised, or healing skin, SkinMedica Restorative Ointment is a rich, occlusive moisturizer that helps seal in moisture and support the skin’s natural barrier. The protective formula is especially useful when skin needs intensive hydration and protection from external irritants.

This restorative skin ointment can be used on areas experiencing severe dryness, flaking, cracking, or temporary barrier disruption. It is also well suited for use following certain dermatologic and aesthetic procedures when recommended by a healthcare professional. By minimizing moisture loss and maintaining a protected skin environment, it helps promote softer, smoother, more comfortable skin during recovery.

  Helianthus Annuus (sunflower) Sprout Extract

  Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil

  Castor oil, derived from Ricinus communis seeds, is an occlusive ingredient rich in unsaturated fatty acids, with about 90% being ricinoleic acid, which provides potent anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. It also contains oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, contributing to its emollient, moisturizing, and mildly comedogenic properties. Castor oil has antioxidant and antimicrobial abilities, making it popular in acne treatments, though its mild comedogenicity may clog pores if not used properly in your skin care routine. It can increase the penetration of other skin care ingredients in the skin care routine.
