What the product description says
“BROAD SPECTRUM UVA/UVB PROTECTION WITH DRY GRIP TECHNOLOGY.”
Source: Amazon US

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, polyglycerin-3.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.

Polyglycerin-3Key activeEffect: HighHelps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin~3–3.6%
DimethiconeKey activeEffect: HighA silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish~1.9–2.4%
Caprylic/capric triglycerideKey activeEffect: HighA good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin~1.8–2.2%
Cetyl dimethiconeKey activeEffect: HighA type of silicone. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice, light product texture~1.5–1.9%
Phenyl trimethiconeKey activeEffect: HighA type of silicone that can decrease loss of moisture from the skin surface. It helps create a nice product texture~0.95–1.15%
GlycerinKey activeEffect: HighOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant~0.4–0.6%
SorbitolEffect: LowHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture~2.2–2.7%
Caprylyl glycolEffect: LowHelps preserve products and creates a nice product texture~0.55–0.8%
