What the product description says
“DMK Maximum Moisture”
From product name

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: persea gratissima fruit extract, oleic acid.

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).

Persea gratissima fruit extractKey active· EmollientEffect: High~2.9–4.3%
Zea mays oilKey activeEffect: HighA good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function~1–1.5%
Oleic acid· EmollientEffect: LowHelps soften the upper layer of the skin. At the same time, it can weaken the skin's barrier enhancing penetration of other ingredients and increasing the risk of skin dryness~3.6–5.5%
Stearic acid· EmollientEffect: LowHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient~8.9–13.4%
