MoisturizingParaffinum liquidum, Betaine + 7 moreStrong evidence
“Brand from Japan matsukiyo. Highly moisturizing ingredient Vaseline, shea butter, honey, thigh leaf extract combination.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
betaine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "matsukiyo - Body Milk No Fragrance" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Matsukiyo - Body Milk No Fragrance ticks this box. Humectants in this product (betaine, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, honey and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, butyrospermum parkii butter and squalane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
