What does the product description say?

Quench skin with an instant boost of hydration on the go.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 3.7% - 5.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

butylene glycol 1.4% - 2.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

hydrolyzed opuntia ficus-indica flower extract 0.8% - 1.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract. Can help attract water the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties
