A member asked:

Is aquaphor a aquaphilic ointment?

Dr. Vicki Levine answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Yes: Aquaphor is an excellent moisturizer that can be used by infants, children and adults. It is similar to vaseline, but is thicker. If you are allergic to wool you should not use it, since lanolin is in it.
