What does the product description say?
"Another key ingredient Raspberry Seed Oil, which contains a high amount of essential fatty acids and vitamin E, saturates the skin with moisture whilst forming a protective layer to help ward off external aggressors."
From: Lookfantastic

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to seal in the moisture in the skin. But: it is not effective in attracting water to the skin, so you might want to use an additional product with good humectant ingredients (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
2 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
3 olea europaea (olive) fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
4 limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient.
5 calendula officinalis flower extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating
6 crambe abyssinica seed oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
7 rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed oil A plant oil that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin
8 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
9 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
10 punica granatum (pomegranate) fruit extract
