Handaid Botanical Hand Cream
Made in our own factory and laboratory in Pine Brook, NJ
Description+
For All Skin Types
Hands age as fast as your face and get a fraction of the attention.
Niacinamide works on the look of tone over months, and the backs of your hands are where sun shows first. Oat protein and squalane soften, aloe and calendula calm skin that's dry or reactive, and allantoin works on the rough patches around your knuckles and cuticles.
What matters with a hand cream is the first minute after you put it on. This one absorbs without leaving a film, so you're not leaving prints on everything you pick up, and it holds through a hand wash better than a thin lotion does.
Work a small amount into clean, dry hands and pay attention to your knuckles and the skin around your nails. Reapply after you wash them. In the daytime follow with SPF, because your hands get more sun than almost anywhere else on you and almost none of the protection. With regular use your hands feel softer and look more even.
How to Use+
Apply liberally and massage thoroughly into your hands, working between the fingers and into the cuticles. Use morning and night, and any time hands feel dry. Reapply as often as you need to. Follow with SPF during the day.

Our Philosophy
I go about [the formulas] in a very different way than a regular chemist. I always look for what conditions I’d like to correct. I look at what skin types and problems that I want to work with, and then I try to find the best possible ingredients that will work for the skin.
