Aloe Vesta® Protective Ointment acts as a skin protectant and keeps your skin safe from environmental factors. This unscented ointment is CHG (Chlorhexidine Gluconate) compatible, which means it will not hinder the efficiency of a CHG-based product. Aloe Vesta® skin protectant is hypoallergenic and is safe for people with sensitive skin. Since it's safe for all ages, people with incontinence can use it as an ointment for regular use. Aloe Vesta® ointment contains petroleum that seals in moisture to keep the skin protected. It also has emollients to moisturize and soothe the skin. The tube contains 8 ounces of ointment.
Questions:
Label on Aloe Vesta tube lists petrolatum as only ingredient, suggesting that this is nothing but a tube of Vaseline. What's the big deal? Is there more to it?

THis cream is the best thing I have ever used on rashes - chaffing, etc! My husband used it around sutures after colon surgery and we use it now on our grandchildren for diaper rash - cures it over night!
Answer By: acajuncharm on Dec 12 2017 7:47 PM
This is not a tube of petroleum jelly. It is a white cream, not too thick that provides a great barrier from wetness.
Answer By: Suzy on Dec 12 2017 7:48 PM
It absorbs into the skin much better than Vaseline.
Answer By: Shelly on Dec 12 2022 7:38 AM
Yes there is mkre to it. It is nothing like vaseline. This cream is great for any skin irritations. Women sometimes get red and irritated under ther breasts...put some on at bedtime and will be gone by morning. Any times of irritations including incontinence problems.

Aloe Vesta 3-in-1 Skin Protectant is absolutely the BEST on the market (and believe me, I've tried most of them). Only 43% of the product is petrolatum; the other 57% is comprised of (in this order) Water, Mineral Oil, Hydroxylated Lanolin, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Ozokerite, PET-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Glycerin, Steareth-20, Magnesium Sulfate, DMDM Hydanton, Iodopropynl Butylcarbarnate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice. If it didn't have a hefty amount of petrolatum in it, it wouldn't be as effective against wetness, which it definitely IS. It doesn't stink, it feels good and stays on longer than any other. The protective ointments they use in the hospital are always too light, and once I was in a nursing home/rehab where they used one that was so obnoxious (way too thick and smelly) that I couldn't stand it. You won't be disappointed with the Aloe Vesta.

Questions:
Is Aloe Vesta 3 in 1 Protective Ointment a greasy consistency or a white cream like Desitin?
15 Answers
Question By: Reneet on Nov 11 2017 7:51 PM
It has the consistency of Desitin but not quite as thick.
Answer By: wiedons on Dec 12 2017 6:34 PM
Well, its not as greasy as Desitin but it is a white cream. I've had several surgeries and now need to protect my skin from irritation. If I sleep 7 or 8 hours then my skin can be exposed to irritation causing substances for a long time. I've used every commercially available skin protectant for many years and Aloe Vesta 3 is overall the best. The ointments that aren't greasy don't protect well and the ones that are have irritated me more by making it harder to clean up than Aloe Vesta. The best thing to do is try a tube and see if you prefer it over something else.
Answer By: BB on Dec 12 2017 7:15 PM
It is a white cream and not greasy.
Answer By: Suzy on Dec 12 2017 7:45 PM
Greasy consistency! Great for rashes - diaper rash, etc
Answer By: acajuncharm on Dec 12 2017 7:45 PM
I have used the Aloe Vesta just for travel use. On a regular basis, I use Lanticeptic. It is a white cream based on lanolin. Other ingredients include beeswax,fragrance (not much!)lanolin alcohol,mineral oil, etc... A very good product. My wife is bed ridden...total care and this product and a low air loss mattress work wonders.
Answer By: Pops on Dec 12 2017 8:49 PM
the ointment is very thick but creamy like Desitin and is a miracle! We've used it on everything!
Answer By: Darlene on Dec 12 2018 9:13 AM
White cream.
Answer By: Barbara on Dec 12 2018 9:34 AM
It is a white cream that has a stronger hold that regular cream. It has been amazing help in keeping my mom from having bedsores, it also helps heal skin very quickly. We wouldn't use anything else.
Answer By: Daveb on Dec 12 2018 6:08 PM
Greasy, but I mix it with my evening night face cream and also my body cream. It moistureizes my extra dry skin and sinks in quickly so it's not greasy at all.
Answer By: Lynn on Dec 12 2019 1:37 PM
Aloe Vesta is a thick cream and seems to do a good job. The only problem I have with it, is that it is so thick that I have a hard time squeezing it from the tube with my arthritic.
Answer By: grannio on Dec 12 2021 10:13 PM
Greasy consistency.
Answer By: Shelly on Dec 12 2022 7:36 AM
I find the consistency of Aloe Vesta 3 in 1
to be more of a thin cream. Definitely not greasy at all. Use of the word "Ointment" in the name is kinda misleading.
Answer By: precious2HIM on Dec 12 2024 9:19 PM
Aloe Vesta 3 in 1 is a non greasy white cream.
Much better than Desitin. Good for all kind of skin problem
