Understanding the Ingredients
Aveeno's Eczema Therapy Daily Moisturizing Cream is consciously crafted with ingredients known for their skin-soothing and protective properties. At Aveeno®, we understand that skin can be vulnerable and require special care. All skin goes through sensitive stages, and it’s natural. This cream is designed to revive and renew dry, itchy skin due to eczema.
Hero Ingredients:
- Colloidal Oatmeal: This is the finely ground version of whole oat kernels, possessing well-established skin-soothing, skin-protecting, and antioxidant abilities. Aveeno utilizes the power of soothing oat in many of its skincare products. Oat flour contains high levels of proteins and lipids that soothe and help preserve the skin's moisture barrier, while also providing prebiotic benefits.
- Ceramides: This is one of the many types of ceramides naturally found in the upper layer of the skin. Ceramides constitute about 50% of the intercellular "glue" between our skin cells and play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated.
Other Key Ingredients:
- Water (Aqua): The most common skincare ingredient, serving as the main solvent in cosmetic products. The water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized.
- Glycerin: A humectant that helps the skin attract and retain water, thus moisturizing the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory and skin-protecting abilities, and can help reduce irritation caused by other ingredients.
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it moisturizes the skin and possesses anti-inflammatory, skin-protecting, and wound healing properties.
- Petrolatum: The famous Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly. It is a highly effective occlusive agent that sits on top of the skin, hindering transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and aiding in healing severely dry skin patches.
- Cetyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that acts as an emollient, making the skin feel smooth and nice. It also helps to thicken products and aids in blending water and oil (emulsifier).
- Dimethicone: A very common silicone that provides a silky smooth feel to the skin and hair. It forms a protective barrier on the skin and can help fill in fine lines, giving a temporarily plump appearance. It is also used in scar treatment gels to soften scars and increase elasticity.
- Steareth-20: A waxy solid material derived from stearyl alcohol that helps oil and water to mix together, acting as an emulsifier.
- Steareth-2: Similar to Steareth-20, this ingredient also functions as an emulsifier, helping to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
- Sodium Chloride: The scientific name for salt. In skincare, it acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas and can serve as an emulsion stabilizer.
