Hand Balms & Salves for Dry Hands

    Filter

      When everyday hand cream is no longer enough, a richer balm or salve can provide a more intensive layer of care. Navy Hand Balms & Salves are suited to hands that feel particularly dry, rough or exposed through work, weather and frequent washing.

      Their richer textures make them well suited to targeted use on areas that need more attention or as part of a slower evening routine. Apply consistently rather than waiting until the skin becomes very uncomfortable. Regular nourishment helps maintain softness, suppleness and comfort through periods when hands are under greater pressure.

      Frequently asked questions

      Yes — regular use of a nourishing balm or serum keeps the skin around the nail supple, which is one of the best ways to prevent hangnails forming in the first place.
      Cuticles protect the nail bed from infection, so we recommend gently pushing back and moisturising rather than cutting where possible. If trimming is needed, use a precision tool designed for the job (like our Katey or Helen nippers) rather than regular scissors.
      Balms are thicker and more concentrated, best for intensive overnight repair. Serums are lighter and faster-absorbing, better suited to daytime use or reapplying throughout the day.
      Daily is ideal, especially before bed. For very dry or damaged cuticles, apply both morning and night until condition improves, then maintain with once-daily use.
