MoisturizingUrea, Panthenol + 14 moreStrong evidence
“The innovative foot cream drenches your skin in moisture with the help of Organic Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil and Natural Panthenol, absorbing fast to avoid any trace of greasy, sticky residue being left over, leaving your feet looking radiant and soft.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, pantolactone.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: ricinus communis seed oil, sesamum indicum seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol, urea
ExfoliationUrea, Lactic acidLimited evidence
“Skin is nourished by 15% Natural Carbamide, Organic Glycerin and Organic Almond Oil, while Natural Lactic Acid helps to buff away dead skin cells.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with urea, but This ingredient is not the most effective.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Ecooking - Overnight Foot Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol, urea, glycerin, pantolactone and sodium pca) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (sesamum indicum seed oil, ricinus communis seed oil, cetearyl alcohol, prunus amygdalus dulcis oil and caprylyl glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- This formulation also uses an effective concentration of panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.45% - 1.05%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
