Winter is coming, so it’s time to wrap yourself in a blanket and turn up the heat. While you are staying wrapped in a blanket cocoon watching 13 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix (is that just us?), you want to make sure to offer the same comforting treatment for your skin. Petrolatum is commonly used to create a barrier effect on the skin, locking in moisture and offering a water-repellant film. In formulation, it helps bring body to the oil phase. Read on to find out how we can get these benefits and more, while staying free-from petrolatum!

The barrier effect from DUB ESTOLINE® (opens new window) provides protection against pollution and locks in moisture - perfect for formulations targeting city living.
