What the gurus are saying
This balm sits between pure petrolatum and zinc-based barrier pastes, offering a hybrid approach that dermatologists praise for healing properties. One expert highlights the UV variant particularly for scar management, noting that the madecassoside in the formula works to calm skin while the SPF 50 adds sun protection in one step, making it efficient for those managing compromised barriers or healing skin.
