Who is this cream-balm suitable for, and in what situations is it worth using?

The cream-balm is aimed at areas of the body with pronounced dryness: elbows, knees, heels and shins — zones that lose moisture faster and tend to become rough. It also works as basic care for the whole body if your skin generally reacts to external irritants with tightness and discomfort.

It is most in demand in situations when the skin barrier is under extra strain:

• Heating season — radiators lower the humidity of the air, and the skin becomes dehydrated faster.
• Cold air outdoors — it causes blood vessels to narrow and slows down sebum production.
• Friction from clothing — especially coarse fabrics on the shins and forearms.
• After a shower or bath — hot water washes away part of the lipid layer, and applying the balm straight afterwards helps retain moisture.

The formula contains glycerin, niacinamide, magnesium, sodium and calcium salts, as well as emollients. This combination is aimed at softening the surface and slowing the rate at which moisture evaporates, not just at short-term hydration. That is why the product is convenient to use as regular care, not only at moments of acute discomfort.

If your skin is sensitive or prone to reactions, it is best to apply it to a small area first and wait a few hours.
