skin balm

Topical healing cream

Skin balm is a thick, soothing preparation applied to the skin to moisturize, protect, or heal.

Balms are denser than lotions, often waxy or oily, and meant for targeted areas rather than all-over use: I put some skin balm on my chapped hands.

The term appears on product labels and in skincare discussions.
