Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin and then "seal it in", keeping skin hydrated over time

olea europaea fruit oil	HIGH
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH
yeast extract	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water	Plain old water
2	propanediol	Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
3	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin

5	hydrogenated polydecene	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
6	caprylic/capric triglyceride	A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
7	cetyl ethylhexanoate	An emollient that helps soften the skin and creates a thicker product texture
8	polyglyceryl-3, methylglucose distearate	Helps water and oil mix together
9	dimethicone	A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
