What the product description says

“A lightweight balm that visibly plumps and hydrates the skin, leaving it radiant and well prepped for makeup.”

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
