What the product description says

“Ultra pigmented for 24 hours of intense colour and hydration”

Source: Feelunique

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

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).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, lanolin

BeeswaxKey activeEffect: HighForms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen~1.4–1.7%

Ceramide npHeroEffect: HighA type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin~3.8–4.6%

LanolinHeroEffect: HighSebum of wool-bearing animals (most commonly sheep). Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce the skin water loss. In rare cases could be an allergen. Not suitable for vegans~3–3.7%

ParaffinEffect: LowPrevents water loss from the skin surface and thickens the product consistency~0.1–0.15%
