What the product description says
“This is a specially-formulated blend of plant-derived oils for a result that is both nourishing for the skin while leaving it beautifully hydrated.”
Source: Target

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: prunus armeniaca kernel oil, vitis vinifera seed 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).
