The invention relates to a moisturizing composition, and a preparation method and application thereof, which belong to the field of cosmetics. The moisturizing composition is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 1.0 to 5.0 parts of sodium hyaluronate, 2.0 to 10.0 parts of carboxymethyl deacetyl chitosan, 30.0 to 60.0 parts of dendrobium officinale extract, and 25.0 to 67.0 parts of deionized water. The moisturizing composition can well form a netted natural biomimetic membrane with skin, the sodium hyaluronate performs the water supplementation and moisturizing in the biomimetic membrane, the carboxymethyl deacetyl chitosan forms a biomimetic sterile membrane, so that natural moisturizing factors such as the sodium hyaluronate can be effectively locked, the water loss rate is decreased; and the dendrobium officinale polysaccharide is combined with the natural biomimetic sterile membrane, so that the moisturizing lasting property after long-term use can be further improved, the restoration effect is improved, and the dryness and allergy problems of the skin can be fundamentally solved. The moisturizing composition has multidimensional efficacy such as moisturizing function, restoration function and skin barrier increasing function.
