Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Petrolatum, Dicaprylyl Ether, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol: emollient and occlusive ingredients that form the base of this moisturizing cream, helping to lock in hydration
- Niacinamide: included in this updated formula for its skin-tone-evening and barrier-supportive reputation
- Panthenol and Pantolactone: included for their skin-soothing and conditioning support
- Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil: plant-derived oils supporting the cream's emollient properties
- Tocopherol and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): antioxidant ingredients included for skin-conditioning support
- Sourcing note -- confirmed formula version: this description is based on the ingredient panel matched to the South Asia/India-market 250g SKU, which includes Niacinamide, Panthenol, Pantolactone, and Citric Acid. MedEasy confirmed this same formula (with these ingredients) is also used in the UK market under a "dry to very dry, sensitive skin" label -- likely just a labeling difference rather than a different formula. A separate, older US-market formula was found that does NOT include Niacinamide, Panthenol, Pantolactone, or Citric Acid; MedEasy prioritized the South Asia-market-matched panel for this description since that is the relevant formula for the South Asia market
