The formulation contains mucilage and flaxseed oil due to the highly skin beneficial fatty acid composition which is effective in many inflammatory skin disorders and the potential of water and oil holding capacity. Also, it was observed that Moisturizer and Multipurpose skin cream were reduced fine wrinkles and provided a soft and smooth surface while keeping the skin hydrated for up to 8–10 hours after application and the physiochemical parameters are appropriate for skin creams that are safe, nourishing, and naturally moisturizing.
