Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream Ingredients

Cetaphil moisturizing cream composed of the below active ingredients:

Purified Water

Water is primarily used as a solvent in cosmetics and personal care products in which it dissolves many of the ingredients that impart skin benefits, such as conditioning agents and cleansing agents. Water also forms emulsions in which the oil and water components of the product are combined to form creams and lotions. These are sometimes referred to as oil-in-water emulsions or as water-in-oil depending on the ratios of the oil phase and water phase.

Polyglycerylmethacrylate

Polymethyl Methacrylate, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer and Methyl Methacrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer function as film formers in cosmetic and personal care products. Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer may also function as a viscosity increasing agent - nonaqueous.

Propylene Glycol

Propylene glycol and polypropylene glycols attract water and function as a humectant, found in moisturizers to enhance the appearance of skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness. Propylene glycol is one of the most widely used ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, where it also serves as a viscosity decreasing agent, solvent and fragrance ingredient. It is used in many types of cosmetic formulations including facial cleansers, moisturizers, bath soaps, shampoos and conditioners, deodorants, shaving preparations, fragrances, etc.

Dicaprylyl Ether

provides a dry and non-greasy feel to the skin, which makes it an excellent choice for powder formulations like deodorant. It's also known for its fast spreading capabilities, and is thus used to help facilitate the spreadability of many slow spreading ingredients. It can be found in cosmetic products such as facial moisturizer/lotion, sunscreen, doedorant, hair dye, foundation, anti-aging treatment, eye cream, self tanner and shampoo.
