Waxelene Multi-Purpose Ointment Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Waxelene Multi-Purpose Ointment is the ointment that I didn't know I was looking for! It is a very emollient ointment that can be used to help heal dry skin, chapped lips, Eczema, Psoriasis, diaper rash, cradle cap, and so much more. I use a tiny bit on dry skin, chapped lips and cuticles, and it is so effective that I keep it on my nightstand and use it before I go to bed each night. It has no real detectable aroma or taste, and it feels magnificent on the skin. This is one of my best discoveries this year. Furthermore, it is cruelty-free, petrolatum-free and certified organic.

According to Waxelene,

Say goodbye to dry, itchy, irritated skin. The Multi-Purpose Ointment is specially formulated to moisturize dry skin while providing a breathable water-proof barrier to allow cuts, rashes and irritations to heal. It is a fast-acting treatment for eczema and psoriasis flare-ups.

This silky smooth natural ointment is certified organic, petroleum free and hypoallergenic. It is safe for infants and children – with thousands of moms saying they can’t live without it!

Bathroom cabinets and nightstands overflowing with chemical and petroleum filled creams are a thing of the past. With the Multi-Purpose Ointment all of your family's skincare needs are taken care of without any nasties!

The Multi-Purpose Ointment is made of just four natural ingredients that provide lasting nourishment and hydration for the skin. However, it is our unique patented aeration process that is the true hero of the Multi-Purpose Ointment. By infusing air particles in the ointment, pores are not clogged and the skin is able to absorb air (which the skin needs to heal) and release toxins. The result? Eczema and psoriasis-prone skin is able to heal and stay hydrated for long periods.

You and your little ones will have thriving skin in a matter of days with the Multi-Purpose Ointment! That means no more sleepless nights itching, no more hiding rashes in photos and you won't even need to worry about certain fabrics irritating skin.

Directions: Apply a small amount of Multi-Purpose Ointment to the desired area of skin on the body or face and gently massage it into the skin. (For extremely dry skin, we recommend a thicker barrier).

If you apply more than the desired amount simply remove the excess by spreading to another area or by gently dapping the area with a towel.

The smooth texture allows you to spread it out over a large area to create a thin and breathable protective barrier thanks to our patented aeration process.

Works best when used after a shower, before bed, after hand washing, or anytime your skin may be irritated!

In addition to being an effective moisturizer, Waxelene Multi-Purpose Ointment has many other uses.

Here are some of its uses:

Dry Skin
Chapped Lips
Eczema
Psoriasis
Diaper Rash
Cradle Cap
Minor Scrapes and Burns
Dandruff Relief
Aftershave
Night Cream
Make-up Remover
Hair Gel / Styling
Beard and Moustache Maintenance
Hydrate Split Ends
After Tattoo Care
Anti-Chafe
Soften Pet Paws
Canine Hot Spots

Ingredients: Organic Soy Oil (Organic Glycine Soja), Organic Beeswax (Organic Cera Alba), Natural Vitamin E Oil (Mixed Tocopherols Oil), Organic Rosemary Oil (Organic Rosmarinus Officinalis Oil).

Overall Assessment: My chapped lips and dry cuticles look and feel amazing when I use this emollient multi-purpose ointment, and I will definitely purchase a jar when I use this one up.

I am a huge fan of essential oils, and I fell in love with pura d'or 100% Certified Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil the first time I smelled it. It boasts a light and delectable fresh lemon 🍋 aroma that is a treat to the senses. I love to use it in my diffuser, but I only do it is my home office when my windows and the door to the backyard are wide open, and my cats and dogs are nowhere near (I keep my door to my office closed so that nobody can slip in unnoticed when I use my diffuser). One has to exercise great care when using essential oils, particularly when you have pets, because many of them are harmful to cats and dogs, and lemongrass is among them.

According to pura d'or,

Aromatherapy: The aroma from Lemongrass decreases feelings of nervousness and stress. It has the ability to uplift mood and encourage positive emotions.

It deeply hydrates the skin leaving it soft, supple and radiant. Furthermore, it softens the appearance of fine lines, helps to heal and nourish dry, irritated, dull and listless skin. Like their face oil, the lotion has a lovely and calming aroma, punctuated by the warmth of the Frankincense, but it is neither overpowering, nor long-lasting.

About Frankincense:

Frankincense Essential Oil has been prized for centuries as a potent beauty treatment — Cleopatra is said to have included it in her regimen. Harvested from the Boswellia tree, this ancient treasure is experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to the ever-rising interest in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese healing techniques. For skincare, it is a precious ingredient recognized for its rejuvenating, tightening and smoothing properties. It has a smooth, earthy, woody aroma known to alleviate stress, ease tension and promote a sense of serenity.

To help preserve the precious Boswellia population, Inna Organic does not tap out these endangered trees for Frankincense Essential Oil. Instead, the brand eco-sources Frankincense from a unique species in Somalia. Resin naturally flows from its bark, so harvesting it doesn’t harm the growth of the tree. Since this species isn’t planted on agricultural land, there is also far less impact on the environment. This commitment to ethical sourcing and protecting the environment supports our mantra 'Glow from within: Clean Beauty. Clean Conscience.'

According to INNA ORGANIC,

Refreshing and non-greasy, this age-defying face lotion is light and easily absorbable, rejuvenating the skin with radiance. Its revitalizing blend of powerful botanicals, including eco-sourced Frankincense Essential Oil, Bulgarian Rose Otto and White Tea Extract, work in tandem to soften dry skin and target fine lines, uneven skin tone and other visible signs of aging. Its Organic Frankincense Essential Oil, Cleopatra’s timeless secret, blends with Organic Bulgarian Rose Otto which balances the water and oil in your skin, deeply moisturizing. Other key ingredients include Phytosterols and Bisabolol. Easily absorbable into deeper skin layer, they help dry and damaged skin and rebuild healthy skin. The lotion also contains White Tea Extract, which is packed with age-defying antioxidants called catechins and polyphenols and Moroccan Argan Oil which is loaded with Vitamin E and fatty acids. This helps further fight visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Ingredients: Demineralized Water, Rosa Damascena Flower Water*, Glycerin, Cetearyl Olivate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Pentylene Glycol, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil*, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil*, Sorbitan Olivate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Cetearyl Alcohol, Boswellia Neglecta Resin Essential Oil*, Oryza sativa Extract*, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Tocopherol, Bisabolol, Sodium Benzoate, Xanthan Gum, Camellia sinensis Leaf Extract*, Benzoic Acid, Lavandula Angustifolia Essential Oil*, Fusanus Spicatus Wood Oil*.
