Questions You Might Have
These gentle answers explain what moisturisers contain and how each ingredient helps care for skin, in clear and simple language. They’re here to help children, families, and educators understand hydration, oils, and sensitive‑skin choices — one soothing swirl at a time.
🧴 What is moisturiser made of?
Moisturisers are smooth blends of water, oils, and skin‑friendly ingredients that help keep skin soft. These components work together to hydrate and protect the skin.
💧 Why is water the main ingredient in moisturiser?
Water helps hydrate the skin and makes the cream feel light and easy to spread. It’s the foundation that carries other beneficial ingredients into the skin.
🥥 What do oils and butters do in moisturiser?
Natural or gentle oils (like shea, almond, or coconut) help lock in moisture and protect the skin. They create a barrier that prevents water loss and keeps skin soft.
✨ What are active ingredients in moisturiser?
Some creams include extras like vitamins, plant extracts, or ingredients to calm or protect the skin. These active ingredients target specific skin needs like dryness or sensitivity.
🌸 Do all moisturisers have fragrance?
No, some moisturisers include scents or texture enhancers — others are made for sensitive skin with no extras. Fragrance‑free options are available for those who prefer or need them.
🤍 How do I choose moisturiser for sensitive skin?
Look for moisturisers made for sensitive skin with minimal ingredients, no fragrance, and gentle, natural oils. These formulations reduce the risk of irritation while still providing hydration.
