  About TEWL of petrolatum

  Posted by Abdullah on February 18, 2021 at 4:51 am

  %5 petrolatum prevents %98 TEWL.
  Does it mean %2.5 would be able to prevent %49 TEWL?

  You would have to test it. I don’t think it is a linear scale.

  In case you were curious, here’s a study where you can see how much TEWL petrolatum affects skin. I’m not sure about the percentage they used though.
