Cuticle cream is anemollient which means it acts a lubricant to make skin softer and more pliable. It does this by creating a protective layer to guard against moisture loss. By stopping the cuticle from drying out there is a lower risk of damage if you're someone who pushes it back as part of your nail care routine. For others keeping the cuticle supple means it will be less likely to accidentally crack and break away from the nail.
