What the product description says
“The bath and shower oil works to lock in moisture, promoting long-lasting, touchable softness, while minimising the appearance of dry skin and coarseness.”
Source: Mankind

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
