This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sucrose.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

This is a really good cuticle moisturizer. The viscosity is perfect —it’s not runny like an oil and also not too thick like a paste or petrolatum. It’s very easy to apply using the stick design, and it rubs in so smoothly after application that I wish I had a larger version to moisturize my entire hands! The scent is soft, light and floral—very pleasant but not really that noticeable. If I over-apply then my fingertips can be a bit oily, but I just rub the excess into the surrounding skin, which is a bonus. Again, the stick design is great, not just for ease of application but also for portability, and the lid is very secure so it won’t come off in your bag or pocket. I hope SH makes this one for a loooong time!
