With hand sanitiser quickly becoming a purse staple, there has never been a higher demand for hand moisturisers, lotions, balms and creams.
We road-tested 5 ultra-nourishing hand creams for soft, supple palms, nourished cuticles and nails and glowing, youthful skin and here’s what we have to say.
Organic And Straight From The Ground
RRP: $14.99
Best For: Dehydrated skin
The Raww Nourish-Me Hand & Nail Cream uses the blended vegan superfood powers of WildBerry Harvest™, Coconut Water, Kakadu Plum and Goji Berry to create naturally-based, moisturising formula.
This product promises to stop skin from premature-ageing and fine lines.
The cream itself is non-greasy, lightweight and has a delightful coconut, vanilla and lime scent that remains all day.
The formula is soothing when applied and soaks into the skin quite quickly, leaving the hands feeling super nourished.
This is a brilliant formula, rich in nutrients from its base of all-natural ingredients.
If you are looking for a more earth-based product, we would highly recommend the Raww Nourish-ME Hand & Nail Cream.
Ultra-Softening
RRP: $20

The Arbonne Hand Cream’s hero ingredient is Shea Butter which has been used for centuries as a cosmetic ingredient for its skin-redeeming qualities.

The cream is smooth in texture and has a smoky yet nutty fragrance.
The product was easily absorbed when massaged into the skin and left a glowy, radiant appearance.

Revitalising

La Mav’s Vitamin-C Hand Crème uses Liquorice Root Extract and Vitamin C to regenerate dull-looking and dry-feeling hands.

This cream has a pale-yellow hue, is rich in texture and carries a refreshing, citrus-like scent.

The Sebamed Nourishing Hand Cream has key moisturising-agents including Aloe Vera and Avocado Oil as well as soothing ingredients including Camomile and Vitamin E to create the perfect formula for sensitive skin types.
This product is non-greasy and uses a pH level of 5.5 to stabilise the skin’s barrier function in order to optimise skin protection against harmful conditions such as the sun.
Both dermatologically and clinically tested, the cream’s watery-base, is fast-absorbing, leaving a slight gleam after application.
This cream is also fragrance-free to accommodate for sensitive skin types that may easily encounter irritation.
Not only is your skin left feeling supple, but it looks healthier in appearance as well.
We would recommend the Sebamed Nourishing Hand Cream for sensitive skin types, who are looking to smooth out rough hands without having to use harsh products that end up doing more damage than good.

The cream itself is light in consistency and has an uplifting sandalwood and vanilla scent.
