What the product description says

“A blend of Virgin Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter and Meadowfoam Oil - a safe and stable vegetable oil - soothes and nourishes delicate skin.”

Source: Beauty Expert

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera oil, limnanthes alba 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).
