General benefits of balms

General benefits of balms (most types)
Deep moisture & sealing – balms are usually oil- or wax-based, so they lock in moisture better than lotions
Soothing & calming – great for irritated, dry, or sensitive skin
Protective barrier – shields skin from wind, cold, pollution, and friction
Healing support – helps cracked lips, dry patches, minor cuts, or rough elbows
Long-lasting – thicker texture means you don’t need to reapply as often
