Aquaphor Lip Repair
At a glance
Summary
Aquaphor Lip Repair scores 55/100 -- the highest mainstream lip product because there's no fragrance, no parabens, no formaldehyde releasers, and no chemical sunscreens. Active is Petrolatum 41% (USP white petrolatum). The inactive list adds glycerin, panthenol (provitamin B5), bisabolol (chamomile-derived anti-inflammatory), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), chamomilla recutita extract, and ceresin/mineral oil. The petroleum-source occlusive base is the dominant ingredient and is the main score limiter -- otherwise the inactive list is genuinely cleaner than essentially every other mainstream balm except plain Vaseline. Owned by Beiersdorf.
