Formulation view A classic O/W cream: grapeseed oil, mineral oil, petrolatum and lanolin form a strongly occlusive phase over glycerin hydration, with cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate and stearic acid as the emulsifying structure and carbomer for viscosity. Vitamin E acetate adds antioxidant support. Suited to very dry, rough skin and winter use. Formulator's note: lanolin and isothiazolinone preservatives carry known sensitization concerns.

Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Grape Seed Oil
- Cold-pressed vegetable oil rich in linoleic and oleic acids, known for light texture and good absorption.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Lanolin
- Wool-derived lipid, excellent occlusive emollient; high sensitization rate (wool alcohols), caution for sensitive skin.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Benzisothiazolinone
- Not decoded yet
