eli5 Where does moisturising cream end up?

Question

Does moisturising cream eventually evaporate, or stay in the skin, or get absorbed into the body? If the last one, is it harmful?

Answer 1

I have a friend who’s really into BeautyCounter products. She says you should never use a lotion that you wouldn’t be willing to eat ( if it tasted different) because one way or the other, it is absorbed/ consumed by your body. For what that’s worth.
