Avène XeraCalm Nutrition Moisturising Balm

Fragrance-free nourishment for very dry, sensitive skin

XeraCalm Nutrition Moisturising Balm is the balm of Avène's XeraCalm Nutrition range, made for very dry, sensitive skin in the whole family — from infants aged one month to adults. This high-tolerance daily care nourishes and hydrates the face and body, soothes feelings of tightness and strengthens the skin barrier, leaving the skin soft, comfortable and protected against dryness.

Formula and texture

The unctuous balm spreads easily and absorbs fast, leaving no greasy or sticky film, so you can get dressed straight away. Patented milk thistle oil from Pierre Fabre Research acts against dryness, Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes and softens, and safflower and sunflower seed oils with glycerin nourish and hydrate. The formula is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, contains 95% ingredients of natural origin, is biodegradable and contains no ingredients of animal origin. The pump bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic (pump excluded). Made in France.
