Hands take more than the face does. Soap, water, cold air, hand sanitiser, and none of the care the face gets. They are also where age shows first, because the skin there is thin and the sun never stops.
Hand creams fail in one of two ways. Either they are so light that your hands are dry again an hour later, or they are rich enough to work and you cannot touch anything for the next 10 minutes.
Niacinamide Hand Balm lands in between, and it works on the skin rather than just coating it. Expect softer hands from the first day and smoother, more even skin on the backs of the hands within three to four weeks. 5% niacinamide works on uneven tone and the dark spots that build up there, while 20% shea butter, hyaluronic acid and glycerin work on the dryness underneath.
Panthenol, one of the best documented soothing ingredients in skincare, and allantoin calm redness and roughness, and jojoba esters and hydrogenated olive oil give the richness without the film, so hands stay soft instead of going tight again after 20 minutes.
The balm carries our signature scent, light and warm, the same one you find in White Tea Moisturiser. Massage it in around the nails and knuckles where dryness sits worst, and reapply through the day, particularly after washing your hands. A thicker layer in the evening, when the skin recovers.
Suitable for all skin types and contains no ingredients that are advised against during pregnancy.

Massage the balm into clean hands, working it around the nails and knuckles where dryness sits worst.
HOW OFTEN
Reapply through the day, particularly after washing your hands.
Use a thicker layer in the evening. Overnight is when the skin recovers.
GOOD TO KNOW
Tone takes longer than texture. Give it three to four weeks before judging the dark spots.
Clinically studied ingredients, at the doses we use:
14.8% smoother skin in four weeks
A stronger barrier on hands that take a beating
Better hydration that survives washing
Less roughness where the skin has been worn down
Measured against placebo. The 12-week split-face study ran on 50 women at 5%. The roughness figure was tested at 3.5%. Results vary from person to person.
Niacinamide. Works on uneven tone and the dark spots that build up on the backs of the hands, and strengthens the barrier.
Shea Butter. The repair. Rich enough for very dry, rough skin, balanced so it still absorbs.
Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid. Draw water into the skin and hold it there between washes.
Panthenol and Allantoin. Calm the redness and irritation that come with cracked, overworked hands.
Jojoba Esters. Leave a soft, non-greasy finish that lasts rather than disappearing in 20 minutes.

Returns
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with your purchase, you can start a return in our returns portal within 30 days for a full refund or an exchange.
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
At least 50% of the plastic in our bottles and tubes is post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The rest is virgin plastic, and we work to bring that share down.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium that is itself recycled material. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean. Glass bottles: glass. Aluminium tubes: metal. The carton: paper.
We are not there yet. Half of our plastic is still virgin, and that is the half we are working on.

Why it works
Hand creams fail in one of two ways. Either they are too light and you are reapplying within the hour, or they are rich enough to work and you cannot touch anything for 10 minutes afterwards.
The balance here comes from pairing shea butter with jojoba esters and hydrogenated olive oil, which give the richness without the film. And because niacinamide is in there too, the balm does something a hand cream normally does not: it works on the pigmentation that makes hands look older than the rest of you.

Niacinamide
Panthenol
Glycerin
Vitamin B3, and one of the few ingredients that does several things at once. It helps settle oil production, so skin turns less shiny and pores look smaller. It strengthens the barrier, so skin holds on to water and reacts less to cold and wind. And it calms visible redness.
A humectant: it pulls water towards the skin and holds it there. Glycerin also sits on the surface as a light film that slows how fast that water leaves again, which is why skin stays soft instead of tightening a few hours after you apply it.
