I wouldn’t use any other moisturiser on my face! I’ve been using this for more than three years now and can’t recommend it highly enough. No more itchy, blotchy skin after a lifetime of eczema and allergies.
Hydration Boost Moisturising Balm
"Absolutely love this moisturiser! Just a tiny amount really gives my dehydrated skin such a boost and makes it feel fabulous." —Patricia H.
Deeply HydratingRestores GlowSoftens Dry SkinA Little Goes a Long Way
Meet your everyday comfort balm. This rich, waterless moisturiser brings back softness, suppleness and a healthy-looking glow to dry, thirsty skin.
Carotenoid-rich sea buckthorn and rosehip revive a dull, tired-looking complexion, while babassu, cupuaçu and argan provide deep, lasting comfort. Hemp seed's balanced omegas and olive squalane help keep hydration locked in.
Waterless, so every drop nourishes. Perfect for dry, dehydrated, dull or changing skin that needs a boost of softness and glow. Suitable for normal to dry skin types.
Unwind your mind. A slow facial massage with a gua sha turns a daily step into a few quiet minutes just for you.
Use morning and night as part of your daily ritual. Warm a pea-size amount between your fingers and inhale the delicate, floral aroma. Press gently into clean, damp skin or layer over the Vitamin-Rich Day Oil or Overnight Replenishing Oil for an indulgent boost of hydration.

Why choose the Hydration Boost Moisturising Balm?
Our Hydration Boost Moisturising Balm is a concentrated, waterless blend of plant butters and oils that leaves skin supple, radiant and comforted. The luxurious texture melts into the skin, delivering lasting hydration and protection without heaviness.
Rich in natural vitamins, antioxidants and omegas, it nourishes and soothes even the most delicate skin. The calming aroma of geranium, lavender, petitgrain and palmarosa essential oils transforms your moisturising ritual into a moment of self-care — calming both skin and mind.
What makes it different from other moisturisers?
Most moisturisers contain around 70–80% water, but ours is 100% plant-based nourishment — meaning every drop feeds your skin. No preservatives, no unnecessary fillers — just pure goodness. We formulate with cold-pressed, nutrient-rich butters and oils selected for their ability to hydrate, protect and support the skin barrier without clogging pores. The result is soft, glowing, balanced skin that feels deeply cared for.
Will it leave my skin greasy?
Not at all. The balm absorbs quickly thanks to its blend of Babassu Butter, Olive Squalane and Argan Oil, which mimic the skin’s natural lipids. It leaves skin silky and smooth without a heavy or shiny finish.
Can I use it under makeup?
Yes — it’s a fantastic primer for makeup. The balm smooths the skin’s surface, softens dry patches and creates the perfect base for foundation or tinted moisturisers. You’ll get that healthy, natural glow without any silicones.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Like all Husk & Seed products, our balm is free from alcohol, parabens, synthetic fragrance and harsh preservatives. It’s gentle, soothing and barrier-supportive, making it ideal for dry, mature and sensitive skin types.
Can I use it if I have oily or combination skin?
Yes. Using an oil-based balm actually helps balance the skin’s oil production. Harsh, drying products can cause your skin to overcompensate by producing more oil. Our balm’s lightweight, non-comedogenic oils restore equilibrium and keep the skin comfortable.
Can it be used at night?
Yes — the Hydration Boost Moisturising Balm is wonderful as part of your evening ritual. For enhanced nourishment, apply it over our Overnight Replenishing Oil to lock in moisture and boost skin regeneration while you sleep.

Smells lovely. My skin feels really soft and moisturized without causing breakouts
Kerry 5/5 Verified
Love this so much! Inspired to buy it since purchasing the lavender mineral sunscreen…I was given 3 free samples…the cleanser, the moisturiser and the night oil. Absolutely beautiful products and I will definitely be buying the others when I run out of my existing equivalents! Thank you for producing such beautiful skin kind/super food products! Last year I suffered from peri-oral dermatitis and since react to anything and everything. I started my waterless skincare journey from there after researching what my skin barrier needed and was led to lyonsleaf…from there husk and seed popped up into my life too and I’m so glad it did! I don’t react to these products at all and get a wonderful glow from them. Thank you ☺️

Easy to apply and leaves my skin feeling nice, smells amazing and I like the fact there are no nasties added. No reaction so far and it's too early to see any long term effect. Very happy do far.

Karen 5/5 Verified
I'm so happy to get a chance to review this product and this company. I ordered one product, I received 3 free samples and a little wooden spatula and a note to thank me for the order - I love the products, they all smell beautifully natural, I can already tell the balm will last a long time, but it was the additional touches that really impressed me - this is a company who care and who make the extra effort. Also, so pleased to support a British company- definitely will buy again and recommend to friends.
