What the product description says
β€œThis highly concentrated cream moisturizes and quiets sensitive skin.”
Source: SmallFlower

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

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

Cera albaKey activeΒ· Emollient, OcclusiveEffect: 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~8.4–12.7%
LanolinHeroΒ· Emollient, OcclusiveEffect: 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~3.8–5.6%
Sesamum indicum seed oilKey activeΒ· EmollientEffect: 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~2.5–3.7%
Lanolin alcoholΒ· EmollientEffect: LowHelps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating~3.1–4.7%
