- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservativesÂ

It helped me and its so cool and not intense on my skin
I wanted to like this cream, but I just can't. I was hoping it would be good for Canadian winter but it's not moisturizing enough. Oddly enough, it made my skin feel really oily which is uncomfortable. It feels like it doesn't really sink into my skin, and that's disappointing.
