Summary

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion scores 45/100. The headline is the colloidal oatmeal (1% active soothing/anti-inflammatory) and 24-hour hydration claim from a relatively short ingredient list (10 ingredients). However the moisture comes from a petroleum stack -- petrolatum, isopropyl palmitate, and dimethicone silicone form most of the occlusive base. Distearyldimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium conditioner that's irritation-flagged for some sensitive skin. Cleaner than Eucerin or Lubriderm because there's no paraben preservative system (uses benzyl alcohol instead) and no added fragrance in the unscented version. The oat content is real, but the base it's delivered in is the standard mainstream petroleum/silicone blend. Owned by Johnson & Johnson (Kenvue spinoff).
