What the product description says
“Intensively nourishes and protects dry or sensitive skin.”
Source: Feelunique

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: sesamum indicum seed oil, prunus amygdalus dulcis 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).

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

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~3.4–5.1%
Prunus amygdalus dulcis oilKey activeEffect: MediumAn emollient that softens the skin~4.7–7.1%
Sesamum indicum seed oilKey activeEffect: HighA good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function~2.8–4.2%
