What is Hand Cream & Lotion?

Hand creams and lotions are topical moisturisers designed to hydrate, protect and repair the delicate skin on the hands. These products typically combine softening emollients, moisture-binding humectants and barrier-repair ingredients such as glycerin, shea butter, ceramides and natural oils. They help replenish moisture lost through washing, environmental exposure and daily activity, while supporting long-term skin health and preventing dryness, cracking and irritation.

Why is Hand Care Important?

The hands are exposed to more external stress than most other areas of skin, experiencing frequent washing, sanitising, friction and temperature changes. Without proper care, this can lead to dryness, irritation, cracking, redness and premature ageing. Using high-quality hand creams and lotions helps maintain elasticity and softness while reinforcing the skin's natural barrier. Consistent hydration also improves comfort, reduces sensitivity and supports healthier-looking skin over time.

How to Use Hand Creams & Lotions

• Apply a small amount to clean, dry hands and massage gently until absorbed.
• Use after handwashing, before bed or anytime the skin feels dry.
• For very dry skin, choose richer creams or overnight hand treatments.
