Emollients & Moisturizing

Emollients & Moisturizing Ingredients 

Description of Emollients & Moisturizing: water plays a key role in helping your skin stay healthy and smooth. Moisturizers seal in or trap moisture and help the skin’s protective barrier to minimize evaporation of water. These moisturizing ingredients give the skin a smooth and soft feel and therefore are often referred to as emollients (emollient means softener). Another effect could be preventing friction by applying an oily film, which lubricates the skin or hair. These 3 product functions use the same occlusive mechanism to ensure that water can’t escape easily, however where emollients mainly aim to soften skin, the main function of moisturizers is to prevent loss of water by trapping and sealing in moisture, and the main function of lubricants is to minimize friction between surfaces. Another type of emollient & moisturizer is humectants, they absorb moisture from the air and from the dermis (deeper skin layer) to the epidermis (superficial skin layers). Emollients & Moisturizing Ingredients are widely applied in the personal care industry and especially in skin care products, such as ointments, emollient cream, lotions, and oils.

What is emollient?

Emollient definition is substances that soften and smoothen itchy, dry skin, and make it feel and look better. Most people experience irritated, dry skin from time to time due to weather conditions, excessive use of hand sanitizers and many other reasons including atopic eczema, diaper rash or atopic dermatitis. Cracked dry skin will cause open spaces between skin cells and emollients will fill these spaces with fatty substances called lipids. Emollients containing a high quantity of oil ensure water can’t easily escape from the skin and are called occlusives. Moisturizing Ingredients often have emollient properties, but where the main function of moisturizers is about trapping and sealing in moisture to build the skin’s protective barrier and prevent water loss, emollients mainly aim to soften the skin.
