What the product description says
“Formulated with a blend of natural plant oils, it helps combat dry and dehydrated skin and frizzy, damaged hair.”
Source: Dermstore

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, opuntia ficus-indica seed oil.

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).
