What the product description says

“Moisturizing goodness, plain and simple.”

Source: Badger

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera alba, cocos nucifera 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).

Olea europaea fruit oilKey active· EmollientEffect: MediumAn emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation~3.7–5.6%

Copernicia cerifera waxKey active· Emollient, OcclusiveEffect: HighHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency~3–4.5%

For me I tried this product in an effort to explore more plastic free options. I give this a B-. Unfortunately it wasn't as hydrating as I was hoping and I don't love having to put my fingers into the product to apply it, especially the mouth area. I think it's a fine product, but I doubt I will repurchase.
