Current ingredients in concentration order are: purified water, petrolatum, sorbitol, cetearyl alcohol, propylene glycol, ceteareth-20, simethicone, glyceryl stearate, PEG-30 stearate, sorbic acid, BHT
So the one non-FA-safe ingredient glyceryl stearate is not the highest %, as suggested by the listing of ingredients here. It is free of gluten, essential oils, fragrances, and fragrance allergens.
I buy this when my drugstore doesn't have the very similar (but FA-safe, with silicones) CeraVe Moisturizing Cream to use as an AM and PM moisturizer. If your skin can handle glyceryl stearate, this Vanicream lotion is great as a near-dupe and is very widely available. It is great for those chapping winter winds. Love that it always comes with a pump too, as the CeraVe cream does not. It is very thick so a small dime-sized amount is more than enough for your face and neck, a little goes a long way and a cannister lasts me several months.
This is by far the gentlest moisturizer I have ever used. I use daily and nightly on my face, and it never burns or feels like it's hurting my sensitive skin. It is safe for the face and body. I am acne prone, and this does NOT make me break out. it's light and feels nourishing. Love it!
