Active ingredients: Mineral oil 42.5% and white petrolatum 57.3%; preservative-free. Lanolin alcohols are inactive ingredients.

What it is used for

Temporarily relieves burning, irritation, and discomfort associated with eye dryness and helps protect against further irritation.

How to use

Gently pull down the lower eyelid and apply a small ribbon, about one-quarter inch, to the inside of the eyelid. Avoid touching the tube tip to the eye, fingers, or other surfaces; replace the cap afterward.

Before use

For external use only. Keep the container tip clean and avoid touching it to any surface. Check the package seal and expiry before use. Review the complete ingredients if you have sensitivities. Stop and ask a doctor for eye pain, vision changes, ongoing redness or irritation, worsening symptoms, or symptoms lasting over 72 hours.

Can I use the eye-drop method with an ointment?

No. The label calls for a short ribbon inside the lower eyelid, rather than drops. This is an eye ointment; use the instructions for the tube's exact formula.

Store at 15–25°C (59–77°F), away from heat, and protect from freezing. Keep away from children. If swallowed, obtain medical help or contact Poison Control. Read the official Drug Facts.
