Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level.

Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, dimethicone and cetearyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
