“The vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids in Weleda Sea Buckthorn Hand Cream help protect the hands from dehydration; dry hands are softened, becoming more supple and smooth.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera alba, hippophae rhamnoides 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).
