I dread the dead of winter and from handrails to high-fives, it seems that every thing we touch requires a good hand washing afterward to stay healthy and germ-free. While regular soap and water sessions are necessary to combat germs, frequent hand washing can cause dryness and irritation, making our hands clean but uncomfortable and, in severe cases, susceptible to infection.

Eliminate dryness and irritation by soothing hands post-wash with the new natural and affordable (seed) Healthy Hand Cream, which features a blend of seed-based ingredients, rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, phytosterols, and other skin-healing nutrients to protect your paws.

The formulation includes the line’s signature Grape Seed Oil (sourced sustainably from the wine-making process), a naturally-hydrating oil packed with healing and anti-aging antioxidants like Vitamin E and proanthocyanidins, skin barrier-improving essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid, and anti-inflammatory phytosterols. The Healthy Hand Cream also features other natural ingredients, including hydrating and tocopherol-rich Jojoba Seed Oil, antioxidant and vitamin-packed Sunflower Seed oil, and skin-healing and protecting Shea Butter.

Available for $7.99 at drugstore.com and at select Whole Foods and ShopRite locations nationwide, the Healthy Hand Cream (Invigorating Citrus Blend and Simply Fragrance Free) is the newest product in the (seed) line, which also includes the Nourishing Body Lotion, Conditioning Hair Shampoo Bar, and Moisturizing Body Soap.
