When it comes to skincare, hydration is key, especially for the body. But despite all our efforts to apply lotion religiously, many of us still experience dry, flaky skin. Why? The truth is, body lotions are often applied to dry skin, which can limit their effectiveness. This is where Splash Salve, Hanni’s first-of-its-kind in-shower body balm, comes in.

The Science Behind Splash Salve

The skin’s ability to absorb moisture is much higher when it’s still damp, and this is why in-shower body balms outperform traditional lotions. When you apply a balm immediately after a shower, your skin is primed and receptive to moisture. The warm water helps open your pores allowing for better absorption of that moisture, and the balm seals in that moisture, offering superior hydration compared to applying a lotion to dry skin. The result? Soft, nourished skin that stays moisturized longer, without the greasy feel some lotions can leave behind.

Effortless Application

Another advantage of in-shower body balms is the ease of application. Rather than having to rub in thick creams or oils after your shower, you can simply apply the balm while you're still in the warmth of the water. This simplifies your routine, making it more efficient and ensuring that you don’t miss out on essential moisture.

Long-Lasting Hydration

In-shower body balms are often formulated with richer, more concentrated ingredients than lotions, including oils like shea butter, coconut oil, or cocoa butter. These oils are known for their ability to deeply penetrate the skin and create a moisture barrier that lasts long after you’ve stepped out of the shower.

As a result, in-shower body balms help prevent water loss from the skin throughout the day, leading to lasting hydration that’s visible and tactile. Your skin will feel softer, smoother, and more nourished without needing constant reapplications.

Perfect for Dry Skin

If you struggle with extremely dry skin, Splash Salve offers a way to intensely nourish and protect your skin without irritation. Splash Salve is formulated with soothing ingredients, making it ideal for those prone to dry skin conditions. By applying the balm while your skin is still moist, you’re able to support your skin’s barrier and help restore its natural moisture balance.
