What does your lotion already have?
Maybe than is enough ????

For a claim ingredient that is very good for moisturization, I can recommend
HYDRACTIN®-LMF by Rahn AG - Personal Care & Cosmetics (ulprospector.com)
and
Hydro-Gain™ von Lipoid Kosmetik AG - Körperpflegemittel & Kosmetik (ulprospector.com)
both have very good data and I used both with very good effects in cosmetic tests.
Both are rather expensive if I remember correctly. so depends on how wide the range for product cost is.

What about Cola Moist 200? Recently found this at a DIY site but didn’t got to try it yet.BTW I’m not suggesting this as a solution but I’m actually hijacking your thread 😉 . -
What country do you live in? It is always nice to try and add endemic ingredients.
How about:
L-Proline
Betaine
Xylitollike mentioned earlier…what is already in there?
Glycerol
Butylene glycol -
@sahar if you see formulas from big brands, they all use the same old ingredients and strategy: mineral oil, petrolatum (occlusive), IPM, CCT (emollients), glycerin (humectant). Varying your emuisifiers/structuring agents can give you a lamellar network that if thick enough, can prevent TEWL significantly. Fancy ingredients (specialy the highly hygroscopic ones) only add cost to your formula.
