Cuticle Saver
Press a tiny amount into ragged edges overnight — no more snags.
Highlighter Hack
Dab a pinhead-size amount on cheekbones over makeup. Glass skin, zero glitter.
Brow Tamer
Swiped through brows with a spoolie. Holds all day without the flaky gel cast.

It’s brilliantly simple. 41% Petrolatum — a protective barrier. The rest is humectants to attract water.
- Petrolatum: Seals moisture in, irritants out
- Glycerin: Pulls water to the skin
- Panthenol: Soothes and repairs
- Lanolin Alcohol: Helps it all blend without pure grease

It’s the WD-40 of beauty. Unsexy, slightly messy, and fixes a hundred little problems.
