What the product description says

“A pure, natural formula that nourishes and prepares the skin for birth, with a gentle mixture of essential oils for use on the sensitive skin of the perineum.”

Source: Naturisimo

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: triticum vulgare germ 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).

Triticum vulgare germ oilKey active· EmollientEffect: HighA good emoillient. Contains vitamin E which can help neutralise free radicals, however the oil is unstable. Avoid if you have gluten or wheat sensitivity (including food allergies).~9.2–13.8%
