“Coconut Moisturising Foot Cream , Tube”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
avena sativa kernel flour, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cocos nucifera oil, avena sativa kernel flour.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lanolin

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Burt's Bees - Coconut Moisturising Foot Cream - Tube" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Burt's Bees - Coconut Moisturising Foot Cream - Tube ticks this box. Avena sativa kernel flour and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Lanolin, avena sativa kernel flour, glycine soja oil, cocos nucifera oil and canola oil in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
