EltaMD · Moisture Seal Occlusive Moisturizer

What is EltaMD Moisture Seal?

EltaMD Moisture Seal is an intense occlusive moisturizer that melts on contact, spreads easily and forms a protective layer over the skin. EltaMD states it locks in moisture for up to 24 hours. The formula is just petrolatum and paraffin, waterless and preservative-free, and it is designed to soothe dry, flaky, intact skin after cosmetic procedures as well as delicate, very dry skin day to day. Use a pea-size amount once daily on clean, slightly damp skin, spread a thin layer and blot off any excess after two minutes. Available at SkinCrew in 2.8 oz ($25).

The problem

Very dry skin can feel tight and flaky no matter how much cream goes on, because lotions absorb and the moisture escapes again within hours. After a cosmetic treatment it is worse: the skin is intact but delicate, and fragranced or preserved formulas can sting. People need a seal that keeps moisture in all day without a long list of ingredients.

One thin layer that holds moisture in all day.

Moisture Seal is an occlusive, so it works by covering the skin rather than soaking in. A pea-size amount melts into a thin protective film that EltaMD says locks in moisture for up to 24 hours. With only petrolatum and paraffin, no water and no preservatives, it suits delicate skin after cosmetic treatments and very dry patches alike.

EltaMD Moisture Seal: up to 24 hours of locked-in moisture

EltaMD Moisture Seal is a concentrated, waterless moisturizer for skin that cannot hold on to water by itself. It melts on contact and spreads into a protective layer, and EltaMD states that it locks in moisture for up to 24 hours. It is designed to soothe dry, flaky, intact skin after procedures and delicate skin resulting from cosmetic treatments.

The formula is petrolatum and paraffin with no water, no preservatives and no fragrance, and EltaMD lists it as hypoallergenic, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic. A little goes a long way: a pea-size amount once a day on slightly damp skin is enough, and it can be used on the face or on dry areas of the body. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Fresh, Current-Batch StockMoisture Seal contains no preservatives, so a sealed, properly stored, current-batch tube is the cleanest way to start. SkinCrew ships authentic stock directly as an authorized retailer.

Why Moisture Seal Stands Out

  • Up to 24 hours. EltaMD states that Moisture Seal locks in moisture for up to 24 hours, so one daily application is usually enough.
  • Two ingredients. Petrolatum and paraffin make up the whole formula, leaving very little for delicate skin to react to.
  • Waterless and preservative-free. With no water in the formula there is no preservative system, and it is also fragrance-free and dye-free.
  • Face or body. It is made for delicate skin after cosmetic treatments and works on dry, flaky areas anywhere on the body.

Who Moisture Seal Is For

A strong match for

  • Very dry or dehydrated skin that loses moisture quickly
  • Delicate, intact skin after a cosmetic procedure
  • Sensitive skin that reacts to fragrance and preservatives
  • Anyone with dry, flaky patches on the face or body

Tolerance and skin type

EltaMD describes Moisture Seal as hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic. It is meant for intact skin: start with no more than a pea-size amount, and after a professional treatment follow your provider's instructions.

How to Use Moisture Seal

Step 1Start with clean, slightly damp skin and a pea-size amount on your fingertip.
Step 2Spread a thin layer over the area once daily and let it settle in.
Step 3After two minutes, gently blot off any excess. Available in 2.8 oz.

Moisture Seal Ingredient Deep Dive

Petrolatum

The main ingredient. An occlusive that forms a film over the skin and slows water loss, which is how the formula locks in moisture.

Paraffin

A wax that adds to the protective layer and helps the moisturizer melt and spread smoothly at skin temperature.

Waterless Base

There is no water in Moisture Seal, so the formula needs no preservatives, which EltaMD highlights for delicate skin.

Fragrance-Free, Dye-Free Profile

EltaMD leaves out fragrance, parabens and dyes and lists the formula as hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

EltaMD Moisture Seal FAQ

What does EltaMD Moisture Seal do?

Moisture Seal is an occlusive moisturizer that melts on contact and forms a protective layer over the skin. EltaMD states that it locks in moisture for up to 24 hours and soothes dry, flaky, intact skin, including delicate skin after cosmetic treatments.

How do I use Moisture Seal?

Use no more than a pea-size amount once daily on clean, slightly damp skin. Spread a thin layer and let it settle, then after two minutes gently blot off any excess.

What is in Moisture Seal?

The formula is petrolatum and paraffin. It contains no water, so it needs no preservatives, and EltaMD describes it as hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and non-comedogenic. That short list is why it suits delicate skin.

Can I use Moisture Seal on my body?

Yes. Moisture Seal works on the face and on dry, flaky areas of the body such as elbows, knees and hands. A thin layer is enough because the occlusive film holds moisture in.

What is the difference between Moisture Seal and Laser Balm?

Both are waterless, preservative-free occlusives. Moisture Seal is petrolatum and paraffin, made to soothe dry, flaky, intact skin and lock in moisture for up to 24 hours. Laser Balm adds microcrystalline wax for a denser balm and is made to keep compromised skin moist after professional treatments.

Can I wear Moisture Seal under makeup?

It is a rich occlusive, so most people prefer it at night or on areas that will not be made up. If you use it in the morning, keep the layer very thin, blot the excess, and follow with sunscreen.

Is SkinCrew an authorized EltaMD retailer in the US?

Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer and sources every unit directly from EltaMD, so Moisture Seal arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
