DermaPhor Moisturizing Ointment

When skin is cracked, chapped, or raw from friction and dryness, a plain petrolatum-based ointment often does more than a fragranced lotion ever could. DermaPhor is an unscented, white petrolatum moisturizing ointment built for exactly that job: sealing in moisture and forming a protective barrier over dry, irritated, or healing skin. It's a familiar choice for caregivers managing chronically dry hands, patients recovering from minor skin irritation, and anyone who reacts poorly to added fragrances or dyes.

The line keeps it simple with two practical formats. The DermaPhor Moisturizing Ointment, 3.75 oz. tube (00184) is easy to carry, keep at the bedside, or tuck into a bag for spot treatment on chapped lips, dry patches, or minor scrapes. The DermaPhor Unscented Ointment, 16 oz. jar (00186) is the value size for households and facilities that go through skin barrier products regularly and want more product per dollar.

Because the formula is unscented and petrolatum-based, it's well suited to sensitive skin and repeated daily use. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as often as needed; a little goes a long way, and it works especially well overnight or under gloves to lock in moisture. Petrolatum ointments also help protect skin exposed to incontinence moisture or wound-adjacent friction, which makes DermaPhor a useful staple in caregiving routines.
