Best Moisturizers — Barrier-Repair, No Phthalates

Your skin barrier is a lipid bilayer. A good moisturizer repairs it with humectants (draw water in), emollients (fill the gaps), and occlusives (seal it). Our top-scoring moisturizers do all three without fragrance chemicals that inflame the very barrier they pretend to repair.

What to look for

Glycerin or hyaluronic acid as a listed humectant
Ceramides, cholesterol, or fatty acids as emollients
Shea butter, squalane, or jojoba as occlusive
No 'fragrance' / 'parfum'
EWG-Verified or MADE SAFE
