Soothing cream (9)

I believe the answer is:

emollient

(Other definitions for emollient that I've seen before include "Softening the skin" , "soothing agent" , "Application like a poultice - lemon lite (anag)" , "Balm" , "Substance that softens or soothes the skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
