What the product description says
“This ultra-hydrating, fruity-scented tanning oil helps you to achieve a deep, golden tan, whilst soothing and repairing the skin.”

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera oil, vitis vinifera seed oil.
