Abstract

A clear, gelled mineral oil based skin protectant especially adapted for irritated skin is provided. The product is clear so the underlying compromised skin can be seen, does not have the normal high drag of petrolatum based products and does not dry out. It contains a mineral oil gel blend which is a hydrocarbon mineral oil blended with di- and tri-block copolymers of hydrogenated butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer and hydrogenated ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer.
