If your body skin feels persistently dry, tight, or rough no matter what you try, your moisture barrier needs real support. Avene Body Moisturizing Melting Balm delivers deep, lasting nourishment formulated specifically for dry to very dry sensitive skin that reacts to everything.

Key Benefits

  • Melts instantly on contact: The balm absorbs quickly so your skin feels soft, never greasy
  • 24-hour deep nourishment: Restores comfort from the very first application and locks in moisture all day
  • Reinforces your skin barrier: Shea oil and safflower seed oil shield against environmental dryness
  • Soothing Thermal Spring Water: Avene's signature ingredient calms irritation and reduces redness
  • Ideal for rough patches: Targets elbows, knees, and heels where dryness hits hardest
  • Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic: Safe for reactive skin, including eczema-prone and atopic skin

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: Sourced from the Sainte-Odile spring in southern France, clinically proven to soothe and soften sensitive skin. Shea Oil: Deeply nourishes and repairs dry, damaged skin with essential fatty acids. Safflower Seed Oil: Rich in linoleic acid to restore your skin barrier and prevent moisture loss. Glycerin: Draws water into your skin and keeps it hydrated throughout the day. Vitamin E Acetate: Protects your skin from environmental stress and supports healing.

How to Use

Apply generously to your entire body after bathing, while skin is still slightly warm. Warmth helps maximize absorption. Massage in gentle circular motions until fully absorbed. For very dry or flaky areas like heels or elbows, apply a thicker layer and allow extra time. Use morning and evening daily for 24-hour hydration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this if I have eczema?

Yes, this balm is dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, specifically formulated for atopic and eczema-prone skin. The Avene Thermal Spring Water base soothes irritation, while shea oil and safflower seed oil reinforce your compromised skin barrier without common irritants.

Does this balm feel greasy on skin?

No, the melting balm texture absorbs quickly on contact. You get deep nourishment without a greasy residue, so you can dress immediately after application. The emollient formula leaves your skin soft and comfortable, never sticky.

How often should I apply this balm?

Apply morning and evening daily for best results. For very dry areas like heels or elbows, apply a thicker layer twice daily. The 250ml size gives you head-to-toe coverage for approximately 6 to 8 weeks with regular use.

Is this balm fragrance free?

No, the INCI list includes fragrance (parfum). However, the formula is paraben-free and hypoallergenic, tested specifically for sensitive and reactive skin types. If you need completely fragrance-free, consider Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Cream for face.
