As skincare experts, we know that understanding the ingredients in your body lotion can make a world of difference. That's why we're excited to share the secrets behind our Cetaphil body lotions and how they can benefit your skin.
Our body lotions are designed to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated, no matter what your skin type is. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, we have a lotion that's perfect for you.
Let's dive into some of the key ingredients that make our moisturisers so effective:
Glycerin is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air and into your skin. We often pair it with occlusives like shea butter to seal in that hydration, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. You'll find glycerin in many of our lotions, including our Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion.
Panthenol, derived from vitamin B5, is another fantastic moisturiser. It helps your skin retain water and strengthens its natural barrier. This means your skin stays hydrated for longer and is better protected against the elements. You'll find panthenol in our Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion.
Avocado oil is a rich source of vitamins A, D, and E, as well as omega 3 fatty acids. These nutrients nourish and support your skin, keeping it smooth, strong, and elastic. We include avocado oil in our Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion to help smooth rough patches.
Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E that acts as both a humectant and an emollient. It draws moisture into your skin and then forms a protective barrier to lock it in. It also has antioxidant properties that help protect your skin from environmental damage. You'll find tocopherol in our Cetaphil Daily Advanced Moisturising Lotion.
Shea butter is a natural moisturiser that has been used for centuries. It's packed with fatty acids that soothe, smooth, and condition your skin. It absorbs quickly and helps restore your skin's natural barrier, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Try our Daily Advanced Moisturising Lotion with Shea Butter to experience its benefits.
Ceramides are a natural part of your skin, but their levels can decrease with age. Our ceramide-enriched lotions help replenish these essential lipids, strengthening your skin's barrier and improving its ability to retain moisture. It's perfect for everyday use on areas like your feet, hands, knees, and elbows.
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is a multi-tasking ingredient that helps balance oil production, reduce redness, and minimise the appearance of pores. Our Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion with niacinamide can help replenish your skin, leaving it looking healthier and more radiant.
Urea is a natural exfoliant that helps to shed dead skin cells, revealing smoother, softer skin underneath. It's particularly helpful for rough or bumpy skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. It helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our moisturisers with hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration without feeling greasy.
Dimethicone creates a breathable barrier on your skin that locks in moisture without clogging pores. It's especially helpful for cracked skin, like on your heels. Our products with dimethicone can help restore and hydrate even the roughest, driest skin.
Sunflower seed oil is rich in linoleic acid, which helps to maintain your skin's natural barrier. It's also non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores. You'll find sunflower seed oil in our lightweight Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion, which provides instant and long-lasting hydration.
