Questions, answered
What is the KAHI Aqua Balm Stick?
A light, hydrating Korean balm stick for the face, neck, hands and dry, rough patches. It has salmon collagen, PDRN and fermented Jeju botanicals, and it glides on with a fresh, sheer finish.
Does the Aqua Balm have SPF?
We don't make an SPF or sun-protection claim for the Aqua Balm in the UK. Use it as a hydrating balm and keep wearing your usual sunscreen every day.
Can I use it with my sunscreen and make-up?
Yes. Apply your sunscreen as usual, and during the day tap the balm gently over dry spots rather than dragging it, so your sunscreen and base stay put.
How is the Aqua Balm different from the Multi Balm?
The Multi Balm is our richer, oil-based balm for fine lines and dryness. The Aqua Balm is a lighter, silkier balm for everyday hydration with a sheer, fresh finish.
Where can I use it?
On the face, neck and hands, and on any dry or rough areas. Keep it away from the eyes themselves.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
If your skin is sensitive or reactive, patch test on your inner wrist first. The formula contains added fragrance; the full ingredient list is below.
Is the KAHI Aqua Balm vegan?
No. It contains salmon-derived collagen, PDRN (sodium DNA) and proteoglycan, so it isn't vegan. KAHI doesn't test on animals and is cruelty-free.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
It hasn't been tested during pregnancy, so please ask your GP or midwife before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding. The full ingredient list is below.
