Melvita Botanical Gold Hydra-Perfecting Body Cream is the body cream that comforts dry skin. After the shower, a hazelnut-sized amount is enough: it intensely hydrates, smooths the look of rough patches and instantly soothes dry skin, which feels supple and comfortable again. Its fluid, velvety texture melts in and absorbs quickly, without stickiness or a greasy finish, so you can get dressed right away.

Key Benefits

  • Intense hydration: for dry, dehydrated body skin.
  • Instant comfort: dry skin feels soothed and supple.
  • Smoother look: rough patches look softened day after day.
  • Light finish: non-greasy and non-sticky.
  • Fresh scent: invigorating, woody notes that stay delicately on the skin.

Key Ingredients

Organic chestnut leaf extract, the signature active of the Botanical Gold line, hydrates and helps strengthen the skin barrier. Organic aloe vera, rich in polysaccharides, soothes and intensely hydrates. Use the cream alone, or after the Botanical Gold Hydra-Perfecting Body Serum for an easy duo. The formula has 100% ingredients of natural origin, is certified organic, made in France, and comes in a tube made with 50% recycled plastic.
