- 1. Dispense: Squeeze a small pea-sized amount onto the back of one hand. This formula is concentrated — a little goes further than you'd expect.
- 2. Apply: Press the back of your hands together to spread the balm across both, then rub palms to fully distribute.
- 3. Massage: Work into the back of the hands, knuckles, fingers, and especially the cuticles. The botanical oils are excellent for nail bed health.
- 4. Pay Attention to Pressure Points: Don't forget your wrists and the webbing between fingers, where dryness often hides.
- 5. Reapply as Needed: Use after every hand washing, before bed for overnight nourishment, and as needed throughout the day in dry seasons.
- 6. Pro Tip: Keep one in your handbag, one at your work station, and one on your nightstand. Pair with OI Body Wash for a full signature-scent ritual, or layer over OI Oil-treated cuticles for an intensive at-home manicure. Doubles as a beautifully scented thank-you or hostess gift — the recyclable aluminium tube is small enough to slip into a card.
What is Davines OI Hand Balm used for?
Davines OI Hand Balm is a nourishing, antioxidant-rich hand cream used to deeply moisturise the skin and provide long-lasting protection against environmental damage caused by sun, wind, and cold. The formula combines Amazonian Roucou oil with a triple botanical blend of olive, sweet almond, and jojoba oils, plus walnut seed extract, vitamin E, and allantoin to soothe and soften. It is suitable for all skin types and is particularly beneficial for hands exposed to harsh conditions, frequent washing, or signs of aging.
Is Davines OI Hand Balm greasy or fast-absorbing?
Davines OI Hand Balm is formulated to be deeply moisturising while absorbing quickly without leaving a greasy residue. The texture is rich and creamy, but the lightweight silicone and botanical oil blend allows it to sink into the skin within approximately one minute of application. Reviewers consistently describe the finish as soft, non-slippery, and immediately ready for handling phones, fabrics, or other objects without transfer.
Can OI Hand Balm help with aging hands or environmental damage?
Yes, Davines OI Hand Balm is formulated with multiple antioxidant ingredients specifically to protect against signs of aging and environmental damage. Roucou oil provides carotenoids, vitamin A, and selenium to defend against free radicals, while walnut seed extract and vitamin E offer additional antioxidant support. Allantoin and botanical oils help soothe and soften skin, and many long-term users report visibly more youthful, supple, and hydrated hands with regular use.

Italian hand care for Canadian winters.
Meet OI Hand Balm, the nourishing hand cream built for the seasons that wage war on your skin: brutal Canadian cold, dry indoor heat, harsh wash days, and the kind of wind that makes you wonder why you live here in February. One pea-sized pump leaves hands soft, supple, and visibly more youthful — without that greasy, slippery aftermath that makes you avoid touching anything for ten minutes.
Powered by a triple botanical oil blend of cold-pressed olive, sweet almond, and jojoba, plus the iconic Roucou oil (Amazonian Achiote seed, rich in carotenoids, vitamin A, and selenium) for antioxidant defence against environmental damage. Walnut seed extract and vitamin E layer on additional antioxidant protection, while allantoin soothes the kind of cracked, irritated skin that comes with constant hand washing.
The texture is rich without being heavy. Absorbs in under a minute. Leaves behind the unmistakable OI fragrance — that warm, slightly sweet, complex Davines scent that has its own loyal following and earns compliments in elevators. Packaged in a recyclable aluminium tube small enough for any handbag, salon station, or bedside drawer. (Most people end up with three.)
