What the product description says
“Grapefruit Blossom Honey Lip Balm will keep your lips hydrated, soft, and lightly scented with the lovely aroma of grapefruit blossom and honey.”
Source: SmallFlower

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera alba, glycine soja 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).

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
