What does the product description say?

This shave gel contains a high content of Aloes, known for its soothing and moisturizing properties.

Source: Cocoon Center

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sodium hyaluronate, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

aloe barbadensis leaf juice 3% - 4.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

butylene glycol 0.4% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
