Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Features “Moisture Capsules” which have a skin-conditioning effect to help improve oil-water balance in the skin.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": mannitol, sucrose.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
