Fuktkrämer

Fuktkrämer, often translated as "moisturizing cream," is a type of cosmetic or dermatological product designed to hydrate and protect the skin. These creams work by creating a barrier on the skin's surface, which helps to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and prevent dryness. The primary ingredients typically include emollients, which soften and smooth the skin, and humectants, which attract water from the environment and deeper skin layers. Occlusives, another common component, form a physical barrier to lock in moisture.

The formulation of fuktkrämer can vary significantly depending on the intended use and skin type. Basic formulations are often water-in-oil emulsions, providing a rich, protective layer suitable for dry or very dry skin. Oil-in-water emulsions are lighter and more easily absorbed, making them a good choice for normal or combination skin. Many fuktkrämer also contain active ingredients that address specific skin concerns, such as anti-aging compounds, soothing agents for sensitive skin, or ingredients to help manage conditions like eczema or psoriasis. They are a staple in skincare routines worldwide, used daily to maintain skin health and comfort.
