A breakthrough in moisturizing technology for all layers of your skin*.

Some body lotions use ingredients that, alone, are unable to effectively treat each of the surface skin’s multiple layers. Introducing Vaseline^® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™: the only lotion to deliver superior moisture** to all layers of skin* and an unmatched silky feel.

The moisturizing ingredient typically found in lotions is a humectant, which attracts and holds moisture within the skin. Lotions with too little of the humectant ingredient can leave the surface skin (or stratum corneum) not thoroughly moisturized, particularly at the top where it is most vulnerable to the environment.  Other lotions try to counteract this problem by using occlusives, designed to sit on the surface and seal in moisture, but this can leave the skin feeling greasy.

Stratys-3™ is the first moisturizing complex designed to work across all layers of skin* without leaving a greasy residue. Found only in Vaseline^® Sheer Infusion™, Stratys-3™ is one of the biggest breakthroughs in moisturizing technology in decades.

The science behind Stratys-3^™

Each ingredient in the Stratys-3™ complex was selected for its unique ability to work optimally at a specific layer of skin.* When combined into a lotion, the ingredients work together to effectively care for all layers of the surface skin. The three ingredients in Stratys-3™ are:

1.    Glycerol Quat (GQ) -- A breakthrough moisturizing molecule that delivers optimal moisturization to the very top layers of skin*, where it needs moisture most.  Glycerol Quat is a powerful hydrating agent, able to bind more water than typical moisturizer ingredients.

2.    Glycerin -- Penetrates skin* for immediate and long-lasting moisture at the skin’s* core.

3.    Hydroxy Ethyl Urea (HEU) -- Absorbs into the deeper down layers*.

Why is Multi-Layer Moisture Important?
The stratum corneum, our protective surface skin barrier, is comprised of many individual cells. As the cells move through their life cycle, they move upwards through the multiple layers of the stratum corneum – the top, the core, and deep down. At each layer, moisture plays a vital role in helping the cells perform optimally and stay healthy.
