Plant-based jelly with beeswax. Unscented.Non-petroleum skin jelly.Skin loving and conditioning.100% Pure and Natural Ingredients: Non-GMO cold pressed castor oil, non-GMO coconut oil, beeswax, and non-GMO vitamin E (from sunflower).No Parabens, Phthalates or Petrochemicals. Not tested on animals.
Skin type: Dry, with relatively frequent fluctuations into dehydration. Prone to flushing and redness.
Occlusives: I've tried Vaseline, Aquaphor, Cerave Healing Ointment, and TCFS Pumpkin Sleeping pack. Unfortunately, every single one of them has caused a bad reaction (flushing and itching with the first three, hives with the TCFS).
Unfortunately, it seems that my skin reacts poorly to many common ingredients in occlusives, including petroleum jelly, honey, olive oil/squalane, and phenoxyethanol.
I'm going to buy this beeswax, castor and coconut oil-based jelly and the Gekka Sleeping Pack on my next Amazon haul purchase, and hope that my skin likes them better.
For me, when I use an occlusive (stick it out through the itching) I wake up with significantly more hydrated, soft and smooth skin. My moisture barrier becomes stronger and my skin unlikely to become dehydrated from cleansing or actives. Any acne or wounds become less likely to scab, and heal faster and without as much resulting PIH.
Unfortunately, I've decided that the increased irritation and redness on my cheeks isn't worth it, so I am not using occlusives right now until I purchase some new ones to try. In the future, I also want to try a variety of oils such as jojoba, argan, and tsubaki added to my final moisturizing step to give a bit of additional occlusive property to both my daytime and nighttime routine.
