That should be inert, and might avoid some of the problems I experienced with oils?>> I went to Oregon State University for one laser treatment. They gave me a whipped petroleum product (I think they made it there, no label on the jar) to put on my face for the first week. They told me it was just petroleum, but I'm not sure what else may have been in it. The ingredient list on Aquaphor, mentioned earlier on the list, does not mention water, but the name implies it. It seems a lot like what I got from OSU, but slightly thicker and harder to spread on the skin. You usually have to ask a pharmacist to order Aquaphor for you. My derm told me Aquaphor was for burn patients. The whipped stuff was very easy to spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
