What the product description says
“Designed to deliver peace and tranquillity to your bath time whilst leaving skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and touchably soft.”
Source: Skinstore

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

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).
