Alpha benzyl alcohol — a non-medicinal ingredient that assists in formulation stability and can help with skin comfort on application. Light mineral oil — serves as a cosmetic vehicle to help the cream spread smoothly over the affected area. Propylene glycol — aids in moisture retention and helps the cream penetrate the skin to reach the sore. Sucrose distearate and sucrose stearate — emulsifiers that improve texture and spreadability of the product. Water — the base of the formulation that helps combine all ingredients into a stable cream.
