Will it leave my hands greasy?

No. It is a fast-absorbing cream that settles into a silky, soft-touch finish, so you can type, drive or turn a page straight afterwards.

Is it good for sensitive skin?

It is made for sensitive-friendly daily use, but it is fragranced with parfum. Patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours first.

How strong is the scent?

The creation

Rich, fast-absorbing comfort for hands that work hard.

Hands do the most work and get the least attention. This cream is for them. It opens with a light, silky texture that melts in as you massage it over knuckles, cuticles and wrists, then settles into a soft-touch finish with no grease left behind.

The base is Kalahari Melon Seed Oil, a light oil rich in linoleic acid that helps skin hold moisture. Aloe leaf juice and glycerin add a cool layer of hydration, while coconut, sunflower, jojoba, avocado, argan and borage oils cushion dry skin and leave hands feeling supple and comforted through the day. A touch of tocopherol (vitamin E) and rosemary leaf oil rounds out the blend.

It comes in four signature scents: crisp Moroccan Fig and Bergamot, with apple, grapefruit, plum and polished rosewood; Hawaiian Black Lava; Violet and Bergamot; and Rosewood and Litsea Cubeba. Keep a bottle by the sink and another at your desk.

The story behind

Made by hand, in small batches, by a mother and son in Brooklyn

Marianella spent her childhood in her grandmother's kitchen in Venezuela, making soap and beauty products by hand, where a little cream always followed the soap. Every bottle of ours is mixed by hand in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in batches of 50 to 100.

She built this cream around Kalahari Melon Seed Oil and added coconut, sunflower, jojoba, avocado, argan and borage oils, so hands that wash all day get a rich cushion without a slick finish. Her son David designed the bottle to sit beside our hand wash. No harsh chemicals, no animal testing, and as little waste as we can manage.
