Formulation view This formulation builds a occlusive system with water, mineral oil, and petrolatum, supplemented by glycerin, urea, and lanolin alcohol for moisturizing. Barley and cucumber extracts soothe the skin. The thick texture suits dry skin in winter or barrier repair. Factory observation: High occlusive agents and animal-derived components require thorough purification of lanolin to eliminate sensitization risks and ensure homogenization stability.
