Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash: Look at the label
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash is the number two best selling beauty product on Amazon.com this week (because it’s on a special promotion.) Let’s look at the label to see what makes it moisturizing.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash ingredients

Solvent for the other ingredients. Is it a moisturizer? I suppose so but you’re already in the freaking shower where there’s plenty of water.
Glycerin
Is this moisturizer? Sure when it’s left on skin. It doesn’t really do much when rinsed off from a body wash. Unless maybe it’s moisturizing the shower drain. (Hey, that’s a new product idea for the folks that make Drano!)
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Is this ingredient moisturizer? Now we get close to the true moisture story of this product. This product really moisturizes by not drying out the skin. It does that by using mild cleansing ingredients like this one that don’t strip natural oils.
Sodium Laureth sulfate
While not at the top of the mild cleanser list, the laureth version is milder to skin than sodium lauryl sulfate.
Decyl Glucoside
Now that’s more like it. Glucosides are very mild and reasonably good foamers.
Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour
Well it wouldn’t be an Aveeno product without some oat extracts now would it?
Glycol Stearate
A pearlizer ingredient added to make the product look more moisturizing.
