What the product description says
“One of Sigma Beauty's ultra-moisturising lip care products, this lip oil tint is great for daily use in your lip care kit.”
Source: Feelunique

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

Helianthus annuus seed oilKey activeEffect: HighA great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function~1.2–1.9%
Simmondsia chinensis seed oilKey activeEffect: HighSoftens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.~3.6–5.5%
Caprylic/capric triglycerideKey activeEffect: HighA good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin~2.7–4.1%
Diisostearyl malateKey activeEffect: MediumHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin~4.5–6.7%
Dimer dilinoleyl dimer dilinoleateEffect: LowHelps create a nice product texture and soften the upper layer of the skin~5.1–7.6%
Caprylyl glycolEffect: LowHelps preserve products and creates a nice product texture~1.6–2.3%
TocopherolEffect: Low, below effective dosePure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself~0.5–1.2%
