What is another word for Emollients?

Pronunciation: [ɪmˈɒli͡ənts] (IPA)

Emollients are substances that help the skin retain moisture and stay hydrated. There are several synonyms for emollients that are commonly used in the skincare industry. One of the most popular is "moisturizers," which is a term that is often used interchangeably with emollient. Other synonyms for emollients include "hydrators," "humectants," and "occlusives." Hydrators, like emollients, help to increase skin's moisture levels. Humectants, on the other hand, attract water from the environment and pull it into the skin.
