Protective barrier hand cream

Ideal for individuals whose hands are frequently exposed to harsh elements or frequent washing, this cream helps maintain skin integrity.

A protective barrier hand cream leaves a light layer on the skin, useful for hands that are washed often or spend time outdoors. It suits gardeners, tradespeople, caregivers and anyone who works with their hands, because it holds up through busy days better than a light lotion.
