What the product description says
“This blend of organic herbs and oils traditionally used to soothe and moisturize dry skin is just the thing for sore, cracked nipples.”
Source: Earth Mama

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, cera alba.

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).
