Glycerin acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin from the environment. Microcrystalline wax contributes to the texture of the cream, making it thick and protective. Lanolin alcohol serves as an emollient, giving the skin a soft and smooth feel. Paraffin enhances softness and contributes to the moisturizing effect. Panthenol conditions the skin, adding to the overall hydrating properties of the formulation. Together, these ingredients aim to improve the skin's appearance by maintaining hydration and softness.
