Occlusive Ingredients

Dimethicone is a common silicone that forms a light, breathable occlusive layer on the skin. It slows water loss and leaves a smooth, silky finish. It is used in moisturizers and primers because it fills in fine texture and gives skin a polished look.

Petrolatum is a pure occlusive that forms a protective layer on the skin's surface to prevent water from evaporating. It is one of the most effective and safe occlusives, backed by dermatologists.

Shea butter is a rich plant fat extracted from the fruit of the African karité tree, combining occlusive and emollient properties. It is loaded with fatty acids and vitamins A and E that nourish and protect the skin.
