# Which moisturizers are completely absorbed? Moisturizers can be made of one of three types: humectants, occlusives, or emollients. Occlusives remain on top of the skin. Humectants are absorbed and also remain on the skin. However, emollients are absorbed into the skin. Therefore, someone who is a choleh shein bo sakana may smear emollients on his skin to the point that it is absorbed in the skin. Common examples of occlusive ingredients in moisturizers are petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, silicones, and zinc oxide. Humectants ingredients include: glycerin, sorbitol, urea, alpha hydroxy acids, and sugars. Emollients ingredients include: cholesterol, squalene fatty acids. Moistirizers that are occlusive include: A & D ointment, zinc ointment 15%. Moisturizers that are humectants: Epi-lyt, and Lacticare. Moisturizers that are emollients: Aquaderm cream, Aquatin cream, Cetaphil moisturizing lotion & cream.<ref>Rabbi Eytan Kofiatzsky (Asaya v. 107-108 p. 156)</ref>
