What the product description says
“Featuring, a cedar-like aroma distilled from the roots of an Indian plant this moisturizer features sweet-almond and apricot kernel oil.”
Source: SmallFlower

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