Extra strength itch stopping cream

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (cetyl alcohol) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
