Cetaphil Healing Ointment for Dry, Chapped Skin — 3 oz Jar, Fragrance‑Free, Hypoallergenic Protectant

CETAPHIL Healing Ointment is an intensive, fragrance‑free petrolatum-based ointment that protects and helps repair very dry, chapped, or irritated skin.

This 3 oz jar delivers a concentrated skin protectant enriched with shea butter and vitamin E to help restore moisture and fortify the skin barrier. The non-irritating, hypoallergenic formula absorbs without a lingering greasy feel and is dermatologist tested and National Eczema Association endorsed. Suitable for everyday pocket use or as a staple in first-aid and travel kits, it targets rough patches, cracked hands, chapped lips and minor friction-related irritation.

How does this ointment shield and repair dry skin?

The formula contains a high concentration of petrolatum, which creates a breathable barrier that helps lock in moisture and protects compromised skin from further irritation. Shea butter and vitamin E help soften and improve the skin’s texture while supporting resilience.

• High petrolatum content forms an occlusive layer to retain moisture
• Shea butter smooths and hydrates dry patches
• Vitamin E supports skin resilience and texture
• Clinically shown improvements in skin texture reported in consumer studies

Can I use it on sensitive skin, babies, and lips?

Yes — the ointment is fragrance-free, free of parabens, lanolin and mineral oil, and formulated to minimize irritation. It’s dermatologist tested and appropriate for infants three months and older according to labeling, making it a gentle option for delicate areas like lips and chapped skin.

• Hypoallergenic, fragrance‑free formulation
• Endorsed by the National Eczema Association
• Suitable for infants 3 months+ and sensitive skin types
• Works on lips, cuticles, cracked hands and heels

How quickly does it absorb and how long does hydration last?

The advanced ointment is designed to spread smoothly and absorb without an overly greasy residue. Its occlusive nature helps maintain hydration for extended periods, supporting repair and comfort between applications.

• Smooth, spreadable texture that tacks down after application
• Designed to hydrate and help maintain the skin’s natural barrier
• Use overnight for intensive repair or as needed during the day
• Lightweight feel compared with traditional heavy ointments

When should I reach for this ointment instead of a moisturizer?

Choose this ointment when skin needs a protective, occlusive layer—after washing, for chapped lips, minor scrapes, friction hotspots, or when frequent handwashing and sanitizers have stripped moisture. It’s intended for targeted repair more than all-over daily moisturizing for normal skin.

• Ideal for targeted care: cracked hands, heels, lips and cuticles
• Useful in first-aid situations for minor scrapes and friction burns
• Helps restore skin after repeated handwashing or sanitizer use
• Carry a 3 oz jar for travel, work, or bedside use

Who is this for? CETAPHIL Healing Ointment 3 oz is made for people with very dry, sensitive, or irritated skin seeking a gentle, fragrance‑free repair product. It’s also well suited for parents of infants (3 months+), anyone who needs a compact, reliable ointment for chapped lips, cracked hands or minor skin irritations, and those who prefer dermatologist-tested, non-irritating skincare options. Keep it in a bag, first-aid kit, or nightstand for on-demand protection and targeted hydration.
