substances that hydrate and soften skin by preventing water loss

Moisturizers, also known as emollients, are substances designed to hydrate and soften the skin by preventing water loss and restoring the skin's natural barrier. They often contain ingredients like humectants, which attract water, and occlusives, which form a protective layer to lock in moisture. These products are essential in managing dry skin conditions and can be found in various forms such as creams, lotions, and ointments.
