Overview
Amazon Basics' healing ointment is a 14 ounce petrolatum based skin protectant meant for dry and cracked skin, chapped lips and minor cuts and scrapes. It is fragrance free and sold as a single 1 pack.
Petrolatum works as an occlusive, sealing moisture in rather than adding hydration itself, which is why it is used across a wide range of uses from lip care to minor wound protection. The 14 ounce size is large relative to typical lip balm tubes, positioning this closer to a household barrier cream than a pocket sized product.
- Petrolatum based ointment
- 14 ounce single pack
- Fragrance free
- Ranked #24 in lip balms and moisturizers
Who it's for
Fits households wanting one fragrance free ointment for multiple uses: chapped lips, dry cracked skin and minor cuts. Not a fit for anyone who wants a lighter, non occlusive moisturizer for daily facial use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fragrance free formula
- Large 14 ounce size for repeat use
- Covers multiple uses: lips, dry skin, minor cuts
- Petrolatum based, so it sits on skin rather than absorbing
- Bulkier than a travel size lip balm
Performance notes
Petrolatum forms a barrier on the skin's surface that reduces water loss, which is why it is marketed across dry and cracked skin, chapped lips and minor cuts and scrapes rather than any one narrow use. At 14 ounces it is sized for ongoing household use rather than travel.
