Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Great hand cream that moisturises and dries down without stickiness or greasyness. No tingling or irritation to my sensitive skin
I'm constantly on the hunt for a good hand cream as I get eczema flare-ups on my fingers and hands. I picked this up in a mini size to try as I've heard good things about it, but I would not repurchase it. I liked that it dried down fast and didn't leave a sticky/greasy feeling on my hands, but my eczema does not benefit from it.

it’s SO thick, but it’s not excessively heavy or sticky at all! it’s already working so well for my horribly dry winter hands. it also doesn’t pill with reapplication.
I love this product! I use it on both my hands and feet before bed and I just wake up with soft hands and feet the next morning <3
If you're trying this out, get the small tube. If you're going to use this almost daily, then just get the big tube or the body lotion itself. It's expensive, but I feel like it saves you more money rather than getting the separate hand & foot cream.
I will warn Show more
