Dr. Hauschka Hydrating Foot Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Dr. Hauschka - Hydrating Foot Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Dr. Hauschka - Hydrating Foot Cream ticks this box. Glycerin and lactose in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (lanolin, cetearyl alcohol and olea europaea fruit oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
