What the product description says
“Composed of vegetable oils and beeswax, this cream reinforces the hydrolipidic film if skin and preserves it from drying out.”
Source: Cocoon Center

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