What the product description says
“Nourish and nurture your skin with Moroccanoil Dry Body Oil , a weightless dry oil that infuses skin with instant moisture and nourishment.”
Source: Mankind

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