Nourish + Hydrate Manuka Honey Balm is a simple, fragrance-free balm made with manuka honey for skin concerns that need gentle, everyday comfort from head to toe.
This ultra-gentle manuka honey balm is powered by nature with rich, 3rd party certified genuine Manuka honey and dermatologist-preferred sunflower oil to provide moisture and support the skin barrier and camellia seed oil for deeper hydration benefits. We’ve also added Lactobacillus ferment, a natural probiotic to keep your skin’s microbiome healthy and balanced.
Our manuka honey skin balm melts into dry skin, sensitive skin, or eczema-prone skin, delivering lasting skin hydration and relief—without burning or stinging.
Manuka honey helps support the skin’s natural barrier and comfort. Our New Zealand Manuka honey is sourced from a UMF®-certified supplier, third-party tested for authenticity and packed with antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti inflammatory properties for the ultimate in skin-healing power. We gently warm the natural honey only as needed to blend the ingredients, preserving the raw Manuka honey benefits you're looking for.
Chosen for their ability to nourish, soothe and keep skin hydrated without clogging or irritation.
No fragrance. No fillers. No unnecessary additives.
Our "little gray jar that's green" is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic with no added dyes, sealed with biodegradable paper pulp and recyclable tamper-proof stickers — a cleaner choice for your skin and the planet.
This balm is designed for daily use. Consistency is key for the best results.
This manuka honey balm can be used on dry hands, fingers, face and body as needed to keep skin hydrated, reduce redness and soothe irritation.
Safe for children and adults and all skin types.
Apply this balm as often as needed. For best results, apply on slightly damp skin.
Many customers use this Manuka Balm for daily sensitive skin support.
Using this method, most customers reorder every 1-2 months.

A: No. The Nourish + Hydrate Manuka Honey Balm is not a direct replacement for the Organic Manuka Skin Soothing Cream.
While both products are rooted in the same philosophy of minimal, gentle, manuka-powered care, they are different formulas with different textures, ingredient profiles, and skin experiences.
We know how meaningful the original cream was for many customers, and we want to be very clear and transparent about why this balm is different and why the cream was discontinued.
A: When we had to change manufacturing partners, it was no longer possible to recreate the original cream exactly as it was. Rather than produce something that was similar but not truly the same, we chose to pause, reassess, and improve.
This gave us the opportunity to thoughtfully upgrade the formula using dermatologist-preferred ingredients, stronger certified Manuka honey, and more eco-conscious packaging, while staying true to the spirit of the original product.
The result is a completely new product, not a reformulation, and that distinction matters.
A: The biggest difference is texture and function.
The original product was a rich cream. The Nourish + Hydrate Manuka Honey Balm is a denser, more emollient balm designed to melt into the skin and seal in moisture.
This makes the balm especially helpful for:
If you loved the original cream for its lighter feel, this balm may feel richer. If you needed deeper hydration and barrier support, many customers find the balm even more comforting.
A: Several key ingredients were intentionally changed to better support sensitive, reactive skin.
Sunflower oil replaces olive oil
High oleic sunflower oil is dermatologist-preferred for eczema-prone skin and is clinically shown to strengthen the skin barrier and boost ceramides, without the irritation some people experience with olive oil.
Camellia seed oil replaces grapeseed oil
Camellia oil is lightweight but deeply nourishing, rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, and known for calming inflammation and supporting long-term skin health.
Stronger certified Manuka honey
We now use third-party tested, UMF-certified Manuka honey with MGO 607 / NPN 16+, offering even more antibacterial and skin-supporting benefits. The formula is only gently warmed to preserve Manuka’s natural properties.
Lactobacillus ferment added
This natural probiotic supports a healthy skin microbiome, helps reduce imbalance-related flare ups, and naturally helps preserve the formula.
Manuka essential oil removed
Essential oils can be irritating for some sensitive skin types. With stronger Manuka honey and probiotic support, the essential oil was no longer needed and was intentionally removed.
A: Yes. The balm is designed to support skin that feels dry, tight, itchy, red, or easily irritated. It helps calm discomfort, support the skin barrier, and provide lasting hydration without burning or stinging.
That said, because this is a balm and not the original cream, the experience will feel different on the skin. Some customers prefer the richer feel, while others may still be adjusting if they loved the original texture.
A: Nourish + Hydrate Manuka Honey Balm is ideal for:
A: Apply as often as needed to dry hands, fingers, face, or body. For best results, apply to slightly damp skin to help lock in moisture. A little goes a long way.
A: We understand that skin is personal and that change can be frustrating, especially when you trusted and relied on the original cream.
That’s why we offer a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. If the Nourish + Hydrate Manuka Honey Balm is not right for your skin, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund.
Your trust matters to us, and we never want you to feel stuck with a product that doesn’t serve you.
A: Many Manuka creams on the market contain long ingredient lists, preservatives, fragrance, or essential oils that can irritate sensitive skin. And, this is a big one, many use fraudulent Manuka without 3rd party tests for authenticity.
