20 Uses for Aquaphor the Wonder Ointment

Now in all seriousness if you have never used this wonder ointment you are missing out!




I first learned of Aquaphor from my dermatologist for my psoriasis. I would use it as a moisturizer and water barrier on my hands. When I realized it was the best thing since sliced bread was when I decided to use it as diaper ointment. When my son would get a red fanny I would put this on and not only would it heal it right up but it would repel moisture from getting the skin more irritated. Nothing I tried not A&D, not Butt Paste nothing worked as goo as this. However there are lots of other uses I bet you never even thought of! Here are my favorite 25.

Madtown Macs shared how she uses it to get her polish perfect when she gives herself a pedi!



3. To soften feet while you sleep
4. To make unruly eye brows lay down
5. As a facial moisturizer when your skin is really dry, it won't clog your pores
6. A makeup remover
7. Run it along your hairline when you are dying your hair so you don't get dye on your forhead
8. Chaffing for athletes from skin on skin or from your sports bra etc.
9. Minor burns from cooking or ironing
10. Put up your nostrils to prevent frequent nose bleeds from dry sinus'
11. Use it to loob up a door hinge
12. Use on a new tattoo or after facial resurfacing
13. Smooth on just shaved skin as an aftershave
14. Rub into cradle cap
15. Use on a rectal thermometer
16. Rub on cracked nipples from breastfeeding
17. It makes a fantastic Lip Balm
18. Spread on your pregnant belly to prevent stretchmarks
19. Spread a dab on hair to get out gum
20. Smear on cuticles to soften them before a mani/pedi

  3. Ok I knew this was good for my son's dry skin but the door hinge and hair dying trick is genius! Love it :)

  4. I think its a bit too greasy, and made mostly of petroleum. So why not just use vaseline, it's cheaper.

    1. ActuallyVaseline is 100% petrolatum while aquaphor is not entirely petrolatum (about 41%).
      Aquaphor contains ingredients like lanolin and glycerin while Vaseline does not and
      Aquaphor is used as a base for pharmaceutical ointments unlike Vaseline.
