PAYOT Nutricia Generous Comforting Balm 50ml (formerly Baume Super Reconfortant)

Rescue rich. Cocoon comfort. Payot Nutricia Baume Super Reconfortant is a deeply nourishing facial balm formulated for very dry, parched and weather-worn skin. Born from Payot's signature Nutricia line, this rich balm melts on contact to relieve tightness, calm sensations of discomfort and shield the skin from the drying effects of cold air, wind and central heating.

At its heart sits a trio of plant oils — sweet almond, raspberry seed and meadowfoam — paired with nourishing shea butter to replenish lipids and reinforce a fragile moisture barrier. Skin is left supple, soft and quietly glowing, with absolutely no greasy after-feel.

Perfect as a winter upgrade for normally dry skin, or as a year-round moisturiser for those who run very dry, mature, or barrier-compromised.

Why you'll love it

• Intense nourishment — a trio of vegetable oils delivers long-lasting hydration and helps prevent moisture loss.
• Instant comfort — soothes feelings of tightness, dryness and irritation from the very first application.
• Barrier repair — helps reinforce a weakened moisture barrier, restoring skin's resilience against cold, wind and dry indoor air.
• Rich but never greasy — a velvety balm-to-cream texture that absorbs cleanly and sits beautifully under makeup.
• Paraben free formula.

Best for

Dry to very dry skin. Skin that feels tight, rough or reactive in winter. Mature skin in need of richer nourishment. Those with a compromised or fragile moisture barrier.

Hero ingredients

• Sweet Almond, Raspberry Seed & Meadowfoam Oil — a triple-oil complex that softens, replenishes lipids and reinforces the skin's protective barrier.
• Shea Butter — deeply nourishing and softening, helping to comfort and repair dry, weather-worn skin.
• Lily of the Valley Extract (from Japan) — supports the skin's natural barrier function by encouraging lipid synthesis.
• Organic Coconut Oil — relipidises the skin and eases the tight, uncomfortable feel of dryness.
• Vegetable Jojoba & Mimosa Tarares — give the balm its signature thick, cushiony texture for an ultra-comforting feel on the skin.

How to use

1. Cleanse and gently dry the skin.
2. Warm a small amount of balm between fingertips.
3. Massage evenly across the face and neck using upward, sweeping motions until fully absorbed.
4. Use morning, evening, or both — depending on how thirsty your skin feels.

Tip: in the cooler months, layer over a hydrating serum for extra cushioning. On especially parched days, press a thin film over the cheeks as a 10-minute comfort mask.
