What the product description says
“Blended with cooling blue tansy and antioxidant-rich prickly pear seed oil, the velvety formula deeply moisturizes, softens, and helps restore the skin's natural barrier, leaving it smooth, supple, and comforted.”

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.
