   I've used aquaphor on my lips and on my kid's too for years now, once your lips are used to Aquaphor, your lips can tell when you stop using it. Aquaphor is pretty safe on every use, I've also used it as a diaper rash preventive. I tried using the baby only Aquaphor, don't be fooled, both types of Aquaphor contain the same ingredients, plain Aquaphor is totally safe for a baby. He's a pacifier baby thanks to the hospital giving him one every time he fussed, anyways, sometimes his upper lip gets chapped from the moisture, Aquaphor is good for that too.

   A friend recommended that I use it for dark circles under my eyes, and let me tell U!!!!!! My skin looks renew and refreshed for 45. I even use it to moisturize my lips. It is my must have in my beauty regiment. :)

     I would always check with your Dr. before using anything the baby might ingest. I used Medela or Lansinoh but if those are not working for you then I would certainly call and ask. Good luck I loved breastfeeding my babies but I for sure don't miss that part of it.

     It is safe for chapped lips. I am not aware that it would conflict with a tree nut allergy but you should always check with your Dr. if you are unsure

     I'm not going to say for sure but I would think it would be fine because it's non-comedogenic

   I had breast cancer surgery which required radiation afterwards. I used it to help prevent any sun burn like effects. It worked as I never experienced anything other than a little redness!

   I love it! For me it was like magic while undergoing radiation for breast cancer. All hospitals should have it on hand!

   My family always use it before any flights especially during cold season (pretty much year round for travelers). It's said to keep germs from penetrating the barrier to your dry nose membranes. I use it for my cuticles in winter and in under and around my nails when I garden even when I wear gloves. Makes the dirt that is able to get in a cinch to wash out.

   I teach swim lessons and the chlorine really irritates my skin, especially in the winter. I put on a generous amount of Aquaphor to my hands before getting in the pool and it creates a good barrier and prevents my skin from drying.

     Same! I spend a good 20 hours in the pool each week and without protection I get first degree burns that resemble a sunburn all over my body. I'm going to try the new Aquaphor spray for easier applicatino.

    I didn't know you could use this for cradle cap! My sister had been trying to use olive oil to fix her baby's cradle cap. We'll have to try this! I use it as a "mask" while I sleep and when I wake up the next morning, the zits trying to appear the night before are completely gone. Love aquaphor!

      Not that I know of Ray. I know that is a real problem with taking blood thinners.

    I love vaseline but I worry because it's known to clog pores. In the winter, my face dries out so bad that it burns. I always opt for relief over beauty. Then I see what looks to be the beginning of a breakout coming on and regret starts to set in. Thanks to your blog, I may not have to worry about it anymore. Great info! Thanks!

    Love Aquaphor! Can't wait to try that nail polish trick! We use it on my son's face when it gets chapped this time of year. Works like a charm!

    Wait, make up remover? awesome! I had never heard of Aquaphor until about 4 months ago when it was recommended for my daughter's skin! I use it on her every night- now I'll be using it too!!

    Love this stuff! My dermatolgist recommended it (even gave me a sample) for healing after I had some moles removed and my skin really healed nicely.

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

      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.
