What does the product description say?

Cream

Source: From product name

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (cetearyl alcohol, paraffin) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).

cetearyl alcohol 23% - 35%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

paraffin 15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Prevents water loss from the skin surface and thickens the product consistency
