The Liberating Solution for Dry and Mature Skin As our skin matures and goes through hormonal shifts, it stops retaining moisture the way it used to. You might find yourself constantly reapplying standard lotions that just sit heavily on the surface of your face. It is time for a radically simple approach. This highly concentrated waterless balm is meticulously crafted to rescue skin suffering from dry flare ups. It absorbs entirely into your skin to leave your complexion soft, deeply nourished, and glowing.
Zero Water. 100% Active Botanical Power. We completely removed the water from these formulations to give your skin exactly what it is craving. Every single application delivers pure plant power designed to mimic and support your natural skin barrier.
Olive Squalane: This clever botanical closely mimics your skin's natural oils to ensure the balm absorbs deeply rather than sitting greasy on the surface.
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Pulp & Rosehip Seed Oils: A vibrant duo packed with vitamins that works overnight to restore that elusive natural glow and visibly improve your overall complexion.
Hemp Seed Oil: An incredibly calming ingredient that tackles dry patches and soothes reactive skin.
The End of Complicated Routines Our customers consistently tell us how liberating it feels to abandon exhausting skincare steps. This single botanical balm creates a smooth and flawless base underneath your makeup every morning. In the evening, the beautiful natural scent transforms your application into a deeply calming ritual to help you unwind. Because it is completely undiluted, you only need the smallest amount. You finally get a beautifully simple routine and skincare you can completely trust.

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.

Will definitely be buying more of this. Love the silky finish and the ease of massaging it onto my face.
This is my second pot of husk & seed. And it’s one of the best face balms I have ever used. It’s super hydrating and a little goes a long way. You feel the goodness as you apply it to your skin. Even in the morning my skin feels lovely.
Lovely fragrance and exceptionally gorgeous to apply to the face. The skin soaks up the product which feels noticeably smoother and moisturised. I definitely recommend this wonderful moisturising balm.
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 ☺️
I love this moisturising balm.It goes on so smoothly and you only need a little. My skin feels so soft and I am no youngster! I would recommend this whatever your age.
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.
The hydration boost moisturising balm softens the skin beautifully and stops it from feeling dry. Wonderful smell and would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to instantly hydrate their skin.
Beautiful quality product. All natural and it really works. Lasts ages and smells wonderful. Hydrates your skin beautifully. Wouldn't be without Husk and Seed products.
Such a lovely consistency, a little does go a long way, it’s hydrating and smells lovely.
Really happy with the results and with the all natural ingredients
Really impressed with the balm. I have seen great results already. My face looks brighter and the balm works well with my foundation.
Thank you for the mini trials too. 🥰
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.
