The full breakdown

Formulated conservatively enough for baby skin, which by extension makes it a gentle, low-irritation option for adult sensitive-skin routines too.

Ingredient breakdown

Olive Oil
Moderate evidence
Commonly used as a moisturizing emollient. A within-person randomized clinical trial comparing extra virgin olive oil to petrolatum found olive oil has real, measurable effects on stratum corneum hydration and skin barrier function, though petrolatum remains the more occlusive comparator.
Aloe Vera
Moderate evidence
A randomized controlled trial in skin graft patients found topical aloe vera gel significantly sped up wound epithelialization (11.5 vs 13.67 days) compared to placebo, though it did not significantly reduce pain. A broader dermatology review found supportive evidence for use in burns, minor wounds and inflammatory skin conditions, while cautioning that overall clinical evidence for oral and topical aloe vera remains incompletely explored.
