What the product description says

“This lightweight body oil is made with a delicate sesame formula that vanishes into the skin providing essential hydration for dry skin.”

Source: Walgreens

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: isopropyl myristate, sesamum indicum seed 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).

Sesamum indicum seed oilKey active· EmollientEffect: HighA good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function~6.7–10%
