Active Ingredients:
The eczema-prone skin formula employs active ingredients known for their soothing and healing properties:
-
Colloidal Oatmeal: Known for its skin-soothing properties, colloidal oatmeal can help relieve dry and itchy skin. It also helps moisturize the skin and forms a protective barrier on the skin surface.
-
Allantoin: Known for its healing, moisturizing, and soothing properties, Allantoin helps to heal wounds and skin irritations and stimulate the growth of healthy tissue.
-
Niacinamide: Also known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide can help restore the skin barrier, improve skin texture, and reduce inflammation.
These differences in ingredient selection are specifically designed to target the needs of eczema-prone skin and effectively soothe and heal the skin. The rest of the recipe is quite similar to any other cream, including the base, humectant, emulsifier, and preservative.
