“Key ingredients include Oat flour Helps moisturize and soothe baby’s skin, while strengthening its natural moisture Glycerin Helps moisturize baby’s skin.”
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:
avena sativa kernel flour, glycerin.
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: dimethicone, avena sativa kernel flour.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: petrolatum

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Aveeno - Baby Daily Lotion" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Aveeno - Baby Daily Lotion ticks this box. Avena sativa kernel flour and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (petrolatum, avena sativa kernel flour, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol and vegetable oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
