“SOFTENING – Not only does this powerful combination of nourishing oils leave your skin feeling silky smooth with no greasy residue, it helps to lock in moisture to retain that soft skin feeling throughout the day.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: ricinus communis seed oil, argania spinosa kernel 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).
