Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream soothes and moisturizes dry skin. This glycerin-based cream is enriched with vitamin E, vitamin B2, and camphor. It has a uniquely high glycerin content and absorbability achieved through a special manufacturing process which makes Yu-Be so effective. Use it to smooth rough, dry patches on hands, elbows, knees, and feet. It softens and reduces tough calluses, including hard, cracked heels, and helps heal and prevent split cuticles. It replenishes lost moisture from water damage or frequent hand washing, helps heal and minimize scarring from burns, and protects and moisturizes skin exposed to cold, wind, and water.
Invented in 1957 by a Japanese pharmacist, Yu-Be is the #1 selling medicated, vitamin-enriched skincare cream in Japan today. Yu-Be is safe and effective for the whole family. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and stays locked in for hours.
Simple formulation translates into concentrated moisturizing ingredients.
Vitamin B2 is potent antioxidant but there is evidence showing it can cause photodamage to skin. Should avoid overexposure to sun after use.
Safety alert: Cautious review based on scientific information of the product ingredients.
1st ingredient
glycerin transports water from the environment and from the lower layers of skin (dermis) to surface skin (epidermis). It softens the skin. Glycerin is a substance naturally present in skin which helps maintain the epidermis and prevent dryness or scaling.
2nd ingredient
is water.
3rd ingredient
isopropyl myristate is used in cosmetics as a thickening agent and emollient.
4th ingredient
stearic acid is fatty acid that is used as an emollient and stablizes other ingredients.
Contains camphor which dilates blood vessels and can cause contact dermatitis when overdosed.
Skin irritation
Contains riboflavin (vitamin B2) which may cause skin photodamage.
Illness
