What the product description says
“This rich, deluxe dry skin treatment is a combination of oils that lock in moisture, while goats milk and shea butter provide supreme softening and healing.”
Source: SmallFlower

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).
