EUCERIN – Aquaphor Skin Repair Balm 40g

This balm is a water-free ointment specifically formulated to repair, protect, and soothe skin that is dry to very dry, cracked, or irritated. It works by creating an ideal protective barrier on the skin’s surface, which supports and accelerates the natural skin regeneration process. The formula is clinically proven to be effective and is notable for being fragrance- and preservative-free.

Key Active Ingredients

The efficacy of the balm is centered around a minimalist but powerful set of ingredients:

  • Panthenol or Dexpanthenol: This is the primary active ingredient. Once applied, it converts into Pantothenic Acid (a B Complex Vitamin) within the skin to enhance regeneration and repair. When used regularly, it is proven to significantly improve signs of irritation, including dryness, roughness, scaling, and redness. It also acts as an effective moisturizer, increasing hydration in the outermost layers of the skin while reducing transepidermal water loss.
  • Glycerin: A humectant that helps to attract and bind moisture to the skin.
  • Bisabolol: Known for its skin-soothing properties.
  • Protective Base: Includes Paraffinum Liquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Ceresin, and Lanolin Alcohol, which work together to form the balm’s protective occlusive barrier.

Environmental Commitment

  • Microplastic-Free: The formula is entirely free of microplastics, adhering to the UNEP definition.
  • Sustainable Packaging: The outer folding box is manufactured from FSC-certified paper.

How to Use

Applied regularly to achieve the best results in improving symptoms of irritation and supporting repair. Because it forms a protective barrier, it is typically used on localized areas of concern, such as cracked heels, dry hands, or irritated patches of skin.

Contraindications & Precautions

  • High Tolerability: The balm is fragrance-free and preservative-free, making it suitable for sensitive and irritated skin.
