What the product description says

“The moisture lock-in formula keeps your baby's bottom dry.”

Source: Target

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: ricinus communis seed oil, paraffin.

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).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum

Paraffinum liquidumHeroEffect: HighMineral oil. One of the most effective and well studied occlusive and emollient moisturizing ingredients. Helps reduce moisture loss in skin and repair skin barrier function~6.9–10.3%

Ricinus communis seed oilKey activeEffect: HighA plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency~25–38%

ParaffinEffect: LowPrevents water loss from the skin surface and thickens the product consistency~3.1–4.6%

PetrolatumUnder-dosedEffect: HighOne of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss~1.5–2.3%
