Abstract
A composition for treating dry skin includes therapeutically active concentrations of one or more skin protecting lipids in an oleaginous base. The skin protecting lipids can include a sphingolipid and at least one oil. The composition is intended for application on the skin surrounding the eyes. The composition is configured to form a protective, occlusive layer that can moisturize the skin and reduce inflammation and itching without stinging, burning, or stripping the skin. According to an exemplary embodiment, the composition is formulated as a high viscosity ointment or gel.
