What the product description says
“Enriched with a cocktail of nourishing oils, including Buriti, Kukui and Calendula, the gently scented formula works to protect skin’s delicate moisture barrier, visibly calm the appearance of irritation and leave skin supple and healthy.”

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera oil, prunus armeniaca 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).
