What is Caudalie's Ceramide Body Balm used for?
Caudalie’s Ceramide Body Balm is a rich treatment designed for dry to very dry, sensitive, and atopic-prone skin. It intensely nourishes and hydrates the skin while promoting comfort, with a rich, enveloping texture that leaves no greasy or sticky residue.
Richer than the 72-Hour Hydrating Body Lotion from the same line, it’s designed for skin that feels tight despite using a standard body lotion, particularly on the driest areas: elbows, knees, and shins.
It is available in a 200-ml jar and a 200-ml refill, which allows you to refill the jar.
For your shower routine, we recommend Caudalie’s Fleur de Vigne Shower Gel, followed by applying the balm to dry skin.
What are its key active ingredients?
The formula combines grape ceramides—lipids naturally found in the skin—withorganic grape water, organic shea butter, andgrape seed oil. Shea butter is the second ingredient listed, right after water.
Caudalie evaluated up to 72 hours of hydration in an instrumental clinical study involving 11 volunteers. The formula contains 98% naturally derived ingredients; it is dermatologically tested and vegan.
The jar is made from 72% recycled plastic.
Helpful tip: The balm is easier to apply to skin that’s still slightly warm after a shower. Take a small amount, warm it between your palms, and start with the driest areas.
How to Use the Ceramide Body Balm?
Apply the balm morning and night to clean, dry skin. Warm it between your hands, then massage in circular motions, focusing on dry areas such as the elbows, knees, and shins.
To refill: Once the jar is empty and clean, transfer the contents of the refill into it.
