What the product description says
“Nobody wants to go down that rabbit hole so get your hands on the moisturizing PUREFORET Natural Lip Balm with Alice!”
Source: Althea

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.

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).
