What the product description says
“The easily absorbed,water-based formula is enriched with moisturizing Avocado Oil and Aloe Vera extract that create a fresh cooling sensation on the skin.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: persea gratissima oil, hydrogenated polyisobutene.

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).
