DetailsThe Science Behind the Product
Hands typically seem to be much dryer than the rest of skin on the body because hands are usually more often exposed to water, cold, heat and extreme elements such as sunlight. Even the simple task of handling paper draws moisture from skin. Our hands require more moisturizing care by adding moisture and, just as important, covering the skin with a protective coating that helps to ‘seal in’ the moisture when applied.
Hand Cream with Shea Butter is packed with moisturizers, natural lubricants to help soothe skin; botanicals that help protect hands from sun exposure; botanicals that actually help to eliminate sun spots; and plant extracts that protect hands from free radicals.
