For those who want all of the hydrating comfort of a lotion without the heavy, greasy residue that leaves skin feeling weighed down or tacky, there's Hanni Water Balm, a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula for all skin types. This instant hydration body mist gets its nourishing qualities from a blend of ingredients like soothing aloe leaf extract and red algae extract, and glycerin, which pulls moisture into the skin.
Touted as a fragrance body mist with real hydrating benefits, Hanni's Water Balm absorbs on contact and is beautifully fragranced enough to replace perfume. The limited-edition Hanni Water Balm in Wildwood Vanille—an edgier take on vanilla—shares a sensorial experience of cardamom, juniper, sandalwood and vanilla that settles into grounding notes of vetiver and musk.
