Only 11 ingredients. No botanical extracts, no essential oils, no fragrance, no dyes, no lanolin, no parabens, no formaldehyde releasers. Vanicream's Moisturizing Cream is deliberately minimal — white petrolatum and sorbitol provide occlusion and humectancy without irritation. For reactive skin, eczema, or anyone who reacts to seemingly everything, this is the last-resort moisturizer that usually works.
