What the product description says
“Pro Remedy Oil by Renée Rouleau contains a blend of 12 carefully selected lipid-rich skin oils delivering exceptional barrier repair benefits to dry, parched skin in need of moisture.”
Source: Renee Rouleau

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
