Ingredient breakdown

Glycerin
Moderate evidence
Commonly used as a humectant to increase skin hydration and support barrier function; a randomized crossover trial found glycerin-based moisturizers effective for secondary prevention of occupational hand dermatitis, and it is considered a foundational, well-established emollient/humectant ingredient in dermatologic literature.
Hyaluronic Acid
Moderate evidence
Commonly used as a humectant to draw and hold moisture in the skin and improve surface hydration; low molecular weight forms have shown measurably better hydration results than high molecular weight forms in controlled testing.
