Everything you need to know about Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream

Overview

What it is

A moisturizing cream designed to shield the skin from environmental factors while supporting hydration levels for skin health. Suitable for use by infants, children, and adults.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Caprylic/capric Triglyceride - emollient
  • Mineral Oil - skin conditioning agent
  • Glycerin - humectant
  • Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil - emollient
  • Zinc Oxide - skin protectant
  • Aquaphilus Dolomiae Ferment Filtrate - conditioning agent
  • Copper Sulfate - antimicrobial agent
  • Zinc Sulfate - antimicrobial agent

How it works

The cream uses Caprylic/capric Triglyceride and Mineral Oil to form a layer on the skin that helps to lock in moisture and condition the skin. Glycerin contributes by attracting moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated. Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil acts as an emollient, making the skin smooth and soft. Zinc Oxide provides a protective barrier, shielding the skin from external stressors. Aquaphilus Dolomiae Ferment Filtrate supports skin conditioning. Copper Sulfate and Zinc Sulfate likely help to maintain the quality of the product by acting as antimicrobial agents. Collectively, these ingredients work together to maintain hydration and support the skin's defense against external factors.
