What the product description says
“The Moon Lip Treatment Balm by Hurraw! is a rich, creamy lip balm designed to hydrate your lips overnight.”
Source: The Detox Market

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

Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Hurraw! - Moon Balm" works well for improving skin hydration

Ingredient callouts

  • As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (ceramide np 3.80% - 5.70%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
