When sweater weather hits, so do dry, chapped hands. Our hands go through a lot every single day — washing, cold air, sun exposure, cleaning products… no wonder they often end up dry, rough, or irritated.
A good hand cream is a must, but choosing the right one makes all the difference! Some formulas contain controversial preservatives, allergenic fragrances, parabens suspected of being endocrine disruptors, or mineral oils derived from petroleum.To make things easier for you, here are 10 hand creams rated 100/100 on Yuka, formulated without harmful ingredients.
