Ive heard that alcohol can dry out the skin. Why do Eucerin products contain alcohol if they are supposed to be moisturizing?
In chemistry, there is a group of substances with the collective name “alcohols.” They have many different properties. Cetyl alcohol and lanolin alcohol are often used as emulsifying agents and actually have a moisturizing—not drying—effect on the skin. If you have any concerns regarding the suitability of a product for use on you or your child, please consult a dermatologist or pediatrician.
