What the product description says
“The star feature of this hydrating lotion is the Red Wood scent that runs throughout, which lifts into the air as you apply the silky smooth lotion to your skin.”
Source: Escentual

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.

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).
