Babé Balm to Oil nourishing body balm 500ml

Description

Babé Balm to Oil is a nourishing body balm in a 500 ml pump bottle, with a creamy texture that turns into a light dry oil on the skin. It hydrates and nourishes dry skin and brings instant softness and comfort. It suits every skin type and works especially well for very dry and atopic-prone skin.

What is Babé Balm to Oil?

This is a body care product from the Spanish dermocosmetics brand Laboratorios Babé that combines two formats in one. It comes out of the bottle as a soft cream and melts into an oil as you massage it in. So one product gives you the comfort of a cream and the nourishing feel of an oil. A large share of the formula is plant oils, which keep skin hydrated and protect it from dryness.

The balm contains ceramides, chia and inca inchi oils, vitamin F, a prebiotic and a probiotic lysate. Together they support the skin barrier and help keep moisture in the skin. The result is smooth, soft and supple skin without that tight feeling. The formula is adapted to the skin’s natural pH.

Who the body balm is for

The body balm is for anyone whose skin feels dry, rough or tight. It is a particularly good choice for very dry and atopic-prone skin that needs richer care. In winter, when the air is dry and clothes rub against the skin, the balm brings welcome comfort. In summer it is a pleasure after sun and sea, when skin longs for softness.

If an ordinary body lotion feels too light and an oil too slippery, this balm sits nicely in between. The dry oil absorbs comfortably and leaves no greasy feel on your clothes. You can find more products in our body creams category.

Key ingredients

Chia and inca inchi oils are rich in omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids. They improve skin hydration and elasticity and reduce water loss. Vitamin F is a group of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin and keeps dryness away. Ceramides are a natural part of the skin and help hold water in its upper layer.

The prebiotic rebalances the skin’s ecosystem, its first line of defence against outside stress. The probiotic lysate activates the skin’s own defence mechanisms. A moisturising factor mirrors the skin’s natural moisturising system and keeps hydration lasting.

How to use

1. After a shower or bath, pat your skin lightly dry with a towel.
2. Pump a small amount of balm into your palm.
3. Massage it over your body and feel the cream turn into oil.
4. Use it every day, especially on drier areas such as shins, elbows and knees.

For daily washing, a gentle oil-based shower gel pairs well with the balm. That way dry skin gets care both while you wash and afterwards.

A small ritual at the end of the day

Babé Balm to Oil turns everyday moisturising into a pleasant moment. A warm shower, a soft towel and then a balm that melts in your palms and glides over the skin like oil. It is a lovely way to wind down in the evening. In the morning it gives your skin a comfortable base, and your clothes feel soft against it. Many people like to apply Babé Balm to Oil straight after the morning shower, while the skin is still slightly damp.

The pump bottle is easy and hygienic to use, and the product stays clean inside it. One large bottle lasts a long time, even for the whole family. The balm also makes a thoughtful gift for someone whose skin needs extra care in winter. You can find more from this brand on the Babé page.
