"Burt's Bees - Softening Foot Cream with Coconut Oil and Soap Bark" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Burt's Bees - Softening Foot Cream with Coconut Oil and Soap Bark ticks this box. Humectants in this product (avena sativa kernel flour and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (lanolin, avena sativa kernel flour, glycine soja oil, cocos nucifera oil and canola oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
