A standard definition for moisturizer is now not accurate, it can be just considered as the substances that reduce the signs and symptoms of dry, scaly skin, making the rough surface soft and smooth. Often the words moisturizer and emollient are used synonymously. In thisreview we define the moisturizer will be used to refer to products that compensate the altered skin barrier function and increase the level of reduced water content in the epidermis. Body cream have been used from pre-history until the present day to keep skin soft and youthful. Many of the earliest ingredients, such as olive oil and animal fat, came from plants and animals while later formulated took advantage of mineral oil and petroleum jelly created in the production of gasoline. Today many creams combine the use of ancient materials with high-tech additions perfected by modern science. Classically, it can be classified as 1> emollient dominant 2> humectant based 3> occlusive 4> therapeutic based on the acting mechanism or as 1> leave on products 2> Washing products 3> Bath emollients based on the formulation.
