eli5 Where does moisturising cream end up?

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

Most moisturising creams are actually oil based, they work by making a sealed layer, stopping the water that’s in your body from evaporating out. They eventually just wash or rub off, so you’re not at any risk. Some creams will have added vitamins and stuff but if they were harmful they wouldn’t be allowed to sell them and many don’t actually absorb into your skin anyway
