Avène XeraCalm Nutrition Shower Cream

A creamy daily wash for dry, sensitive skin in the whole family

XeraCalm Nutrition Shower Cream is Avène's soap-free cleansing cream for dry to very dry sensitive skin, from infants aged one month to adults. It cleanses and nourishes in a single step, helps soothe feelings of tightness after the shower and leaves the skin soft, supple and comfortable. Use it on the face and body, including the external intimate area and the feet.

Formula and texture

The creamy, delicately scented texture foams quickly on wet skin and rinses off easily. Mild sugar- and amino-acid-derived cleansing agents take the place of soap, and the formula has a skin-neutral pH, so it does not sting the eyes or the external intimate area. It is enriched with Avène Thermal Spring Water, patented milk thistle oil and glyceryl oleate, and contains 99% ingredients of natural origin in a biodegradable formula. The bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic (pump excluded). Made in France.
