Product Summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Nivea - Extra White Radiant & Smooth Body Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Nivea - Extra White Radiant & Smooth Body Cream ticks this box. Glycerin, glyceryl glucoside, butylene glycol and propylene glycol 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 (paraffinum liquidum, vitis vinifera seed oil, cera microcristallina, dimethicone and cetyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
