LEGENDS LAST.
Over the past 100 years, the legacy of Aquaphor® has been built on one thing: Helping skin heal.
A damaged barrier needs a moist, protective environment for optimal healing
3 key attributes that create an optimal healing environment
Optimal Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR)
Allows oxygen in and excess moisture out to help provide an optimal healing environment
Absorptive
capacity
Helps absorb excess moisture
Protective
barrier
Provides a protective layer to help protect from external irritants
How a breathable barrier helps support accelerated healing1
When applied, a semi-occlusive ointment helps heal by protecting the skin during the proliferation phase.
Its breathable formula helps regulate moisture and allows oxygen flow.
These breathable properties of a semi-occlusive ointment help prevent tissue maceration—supporting the contracting edges of a wound.
The breathability also helps promote ceramide synthesis—aiding the migration and creation of new epithelial cells.
Clinically demonstrated to heal wounds faster than Polysporin®.
