    Did you mean Moisturizer?
    Glossary Moisturizer

    A moisturizer is a topical product designed to hydrate and soften the skin, which can also benefit the scalp and hair follicles. In the context of hair loss, maintaining a well-hydrated scalp is crucial, as dryness can lead to irritation and inflammation, potentially exacerbating hair loss conditions. Key distinguishing characteristics of moisturizers include their formulation, which may contain humectants, emollients, and occlusives, each serving to attract moisture, smooth the skin, and create a barrier to prevent water loss. Regular use of a suitable moisturizer can promote a healthier scalp environment, supporting overall hair health.
