Why a dedicated QV hand cream
Hands are the hardest part of the body to keep moisturised, because they get washed more than anywhere else and every wash strips the lipid layer again. That is why hand skin cracks when other skin does not - and why frequent hand hygiene in clinical, food and childcare work so reliably causes dermatitis. A hand cream is formulated to absorb quickly and not leave a film, because a greasy cream simply will not get reapplied after every wash. Keeping a 50g tube where the washing happens is more effective than a larger tub in a cupboard.
Common uses
Daily hand care for dry or cracked hands, frequent hand washing in healthcare, hospitality, food handling and childcare, and cold or dry weather. For dirty or wet work, apply a barrier cream before you start and this afterwards. For cracked heels, Neat Feat Foot and Heel Balm is formulated for that specific job.

QV Hand Cream FAQs
Is it greasy?
No, and that is the point of the formulation. It absorbs without leaving a film, which makes it practical to reapply through the day rather than only at night.
Can it be used on sensitive skin?
Yes, it is formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive skin, in keeping with the rest of the QV range.
How often should you apply it?
As often as needed, and ideally after every hand wash. Washing is what strips the skin, so reapplying at that moment is what actually keeps hands from cracking.
Is it suitable for cracked hands?
It is a moisturiser for dry hands and can help skin that is drying and beginning to crack. For deep painful cracks or suspected dermatitis, see a pharmacist or doctor.
What size is this tube?
50g, which is the portable size for a bag, pocket or bench beside a sink.
