This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, ricinus communis 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).

euphorbia cerifera cera 3.5% - 5.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and thickens the product's texture

helianthus annuus seed oil 4.9% - 7.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

ricinus communis seed oil 25% - 38%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Dr. Pawpaw Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm 10ml (The iconic yellow one!)

Source: Boots

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
