WHY IT WORKS

This duo combines gentle cleansing with lasting nourishment for hands that feel dry or uncomfortable.

The Hand Wash is powered by our Barrier Recovery Complex, a 99% natural formula designed to cleanse without compromising the skin’s protective barrier. Mild, plant-based cleansing agents effectively remove dirt and impurities while helping to maintain moisture levels. Oat kernel extract helps soothe sensitive-feeling skin, glycerin provides lasting hydration, and gotu kola supports skin conditioning. Dermatologist-approved and free from harsh sulfates, it delivers a gentle, nourishing cleanse for all skin types, including dryness-prone and reactive skin.

The Hand Cream features our Barrier Recovery Complex, a 99% natural formulation designed for sensitive, dry, and reactive skin. Shea butter and squalane help replenish essential lipids, while oat kernel extract helps soothe dry, sensitive-feeling skin, and gotu kola supports skin conditioning. This dermatologist-approved blend absorbs quickly, delivering hydration and helping maintain balance without any greasy residue. With continued use, hands feel softer, smoother, and more comfortable. Together: The Hand Wash cleanses without stripping or disrupting the skin’s protective barrier, and The Hand Cream restores hydration and comfort. A complete hand care routine for skin that’s dry, sensitive, or overwashed.
