So what's in it?

We list every ingredient in our hand creme, and why it's there. Not everything on this list is here to pamper your skin — some ingredients exist to make sure the cream stays stable, safe, and usable. We think that's worth saying plainly, instead of pretending every ingredient is a star player.

Water
The base of the formula. Every cream needs a water phase to blend with the oils — this is simply that.

Lanolin alcohol — the hero ingredient
Lanolin is a powerful humectant that binds water to the skin and forms a protective barrier to prevent moisture from escaping.

Sweet almond oil
An emollient oil, high in oleic acid, that helps skin hold onto moisture and feels soothing on contact. It's one of the more classic, well-tolerated oils in skincare — gentle enough for regular, everyday use.

Apricot kernel oil
A lightweight oil that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue — part of why this cream feels light instead of heavy. It also carries natural vitamin E, which offers antioxidant support.

Jojoba oil
Technically not an oil at all — it's a liquid wax, and its structure closely resembles the oil your own skin already produces (sebum). That similarity is backed by real published research showing jojoba's ability to improve hydration and support the skin barrier, not just marketing claims. It's part of why this formula integrates with skin rather than sitting on top of it.

Emulsifier
A plant-derived ingredient that allows the oils and water in this cream to actually combine into one stable, smooth product instead of separating. Without it, this wouldn't be a cream at all.

Cetyl alcohol
A fatty alcohol — despite the name, it's not a drying alcohol like the kind found in hand sanitizer. It helps thicken the cream and gives it a smooth, stable texture.

Fragrance
A professionally developed fragrance blend, deliberately kept minimal — under 10 ingredients — rather than a long, undisclosed mix. It's part of a biodegradable line, formulated to be over 90% biodegradable, with full safety and compliance documentation behind it. EPA Safer Choice, EWG, and IFRA compliant — phthalate free, paraben free, cruelty free, and California Prop 65 compliant.

Preservative
Every water-based cream needs one — without it, bacteria and mold can grow in the product. Geogard 221 is ECOCERT and COSMOS-approved, meaning it's recognized as suitable for certified natural and organic cosmetics. It's paraben-free and formaldehyde free — free of the specific preservative types most people are actually trying to avoid.

Nothing here is a mystery ingredient.

Some of it is here for your skin, some of it is here to keep the product working and safe — and we think you deserve to know the difference.
