“This Oil contains sweet almond, rose hip and sunflower oils to quickly nourish and moisturize the skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.

There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
