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!

Thank you for this list
Thank you, I’m needing a great hand cream that’s not full of bad chemicals. These are good choices and I like the oatmeal one the best.
I had a rain check for buy-one-get-one-free blackberry cobbler and I couldn’t wait till it came in. But when I checked it with the Yuka app, it had eight additives and I immediately lost my craving for it! I love this app! People probably think I’m taking inventory because I check so many products and I have shared it with many friends and random people who I meet in the stores. Please keep up the good work. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing these gems. They all sound great and it saves time reading several labels. Was wondering if you have suggestions for shampoos and conditioners
50 ml isn’t much, very expensive
Of course I use the app in the store but I have also gone around my house and checked my stash. What an education. Thank you so much.
Are these products dimethicone free?
Thankyou this is very helpful!!
Love to know what is the best cream to use
Thank you very much, Sharon
Thanks. Where can I find out about other brands such as O’Keefe’s
I truely like Beekmans hand cream. Wonderful product that does what is advertised.
Bar soap is another product I’m trying to find
Thank you so much this was very thoughtful and winter is around the corner. This is exactly what I needed it. Thanks a lot. I will go and look for these brands.
Thank you for the information
Thanks, this is great! Every time I go to a store I’m scanning everything and usually end up leaving with nothing.
Thanks for sharing. It helps when trying to decide which product is healthiest to purchase .
Thank you for that information.
Thank you for this app! It is a wealth of information and greatly appreciated!
Brands should be rated higher when not tested on animals, lower when they are.
I love coconut cream
I am a cancer patient and a Nana so I don’t know much about technology but learning. I was told about this app on my Anti-Cancer Program. It takes me awhile to scan products and foods but definitely worth it. I love that below it has products that are recommended so that makes it easier for me. I THANK YOU to everyone who has worked so hard to put this app together for us all. The time, hours away from loved ones and others. It really goes to show you that they’re people in this world who care about others. I personally am great full and appreciative for hopefully making me live longer. God bless you and your families. May you all stay happy and healthy.
Anna, could you please send me the app for the cancer patients. Thank you
I understand her to say that the YUKA app was recommended by her Anti-Cancer Program, not another app.
Yuka It’s a great app,so helpful.thank you!
I wish it took into consideration, which products are cruelty free
My cousin lost 50 lbs using just your app for his grocery choices. I’ve been using it for months now and am SHOCKED that items that are so highly rated by other sources as natural, etc. rate extremely poor AND most of them are more expensive than the products that rate higher.
Sometimes it takes a while longer shopping because I’m scanning so many choices but it is well worth it. Thank you all for such a fantastic tool to eating better/healthier/cleaner and for recommendations about health/beauty items as well.
I’ve told so many friends and co-workers about Yuka….now we’re all singing your praises !! Thank you !!
Thank you!!
Love your app!! You’re doing a great job adding products to your database. I use the app on a daily basis.
Yuma is an excellent app! I share my experience with others when shopping. Wish there was ratings for pet food.
This was so helpful. I also use your app faithfully at the grocery store. I went through my entire stockpile of cosmetics, soap, face washes, creams, lotions etc. Got rid of so many things that I really thought were wise choices.
I have been using your app for about 3 months to grocery shop with…and after recent lab tests for a physical exam, my doctor called asking ehat ai am doing differently…my cholesterol was down 40 points and all other numbers were right in line as normal. No longer feel bloated and am drinking lots more water also. Thank you for the APP
Thank you for the detailed information. The ratings, prices and volume amounts listed for each product is very much appreciated
Thank you so much for the updates about the hand creams and their prices.So appreciate all that you do for us.Thanks again for your help yaka.
I love your App!
Are the prices listed in US dollars? Even converting from milliliters to ounces, I can’t find anything close to your listed prices. Do I need to convert from Euros?
You should really check out Just Ingredients hand lotions…they are REALLY the BEST with ALL clean ingredients.
Thank you Julie!
I will definitely try some of these lotions. I have very dry skin.
This is so helpful.
I just love your app.
I am truly so thankful for this website and the information that it has given me. I have definitely noticed a difference in my life by changing, not only foods that I no longer eat, but adding foods that I do now eat also love the information on deodorant, hand creams, and any other information I can get my hands on.
True blessing, Molly
Thank you for this list!
I love the EO. I use all their products.
Love your app, I use it every time I go shopping. Its great
When I view the products on line, the price is much higher than you show here. Where can they be purchased at the price you found?
The cost calculated is per 50 ml. Each bottle of product ranges from 150 to 275ml.
Thank you so much for these important updates. I really appreciate it.
Love your info on the hand creams.
Are Purity Wood products as good as they claim?
I too want to know what is the best affordable cookware, utensils & cutting boards to use getting away from all the plastic stuff that’s harming us?
Thank you so much for all the info. I really appreciate it ,,,always looking for great stuff.
Here’s one you missed…Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream comes in a jar with a screw on lid.. It’s 100/100 and don’t have to use much.
Thank you!! I would love to see organic, vegan products included & rates also 🌺
I love this app so very much. I use it for everything I purchase. Plus I am learning so much.
Thank you
I love this app…so easy to understand & follow. Thanks for all the good information.
You need to post listings on cleaning products as well as clothes detergents. Sometimes I scan and many products not listed. Also sometimes products come in plastic yet you rate “excellent” which isn’t safe either. I would also like to see cooking tools like pots, dishes and household goods. Thank you.
Yes I am especially concerned about cookware and cooking utensils! I got rid of everything in my kitchen that was plastic, toxic, or I thought was harmful. Now I’m having a hard time replacing everything, like cutting boards that aren’t plastic, pots/pans without harmful coating, etc. but also products that aren’t going to be so expensive you’ll go broke buying them!
Bamboo cutting boards! Or steel.
For pots and pans, consider ceramic. It’s great. There will be awesome discounts over Black Friday. Good luck 👍
How about Face cream?
YOUR APP IS THE BEST! ALWAYS GET SOME SURPRISES WHEN USED.
Love you app.
I love your app, Yuka. It’s wonderful. I use it every time I go to the grocery store. I feel that I’m eating much healthier now thanks to Yuka..
This is all great as long as money is no object for your skin care.
4.76 for a quality hand cream is certainly reasonable
I love this app!! A friend highly recommended it & I use it all the time before buying any product!!
Thank you so much, it is appreciated especially as our hand suffer during cold weather. I have always had rough hand skin during winter. This will really help so much.
Nuxe: I got Nuxe for my face. So far so good. This is French.
Where do they sale Nuxe in the USA?
us.nuxe.com and Amazon
I would like to add that I love your App. It has helped me learn and change my selections in everything I can scan from beverages, snacks, food, all skin care from head to toe. I’ve been in stores recommending to customers and having great conversations with some customers that knew the Yuka App
SHOUT OUT TO: Fashion Influencer Monroe Steele. She introduced and informed her 130K plus subscribers and audience the Yuka App. Helping to change our lives for better health.
Please check out her social medias for
Fashion, Travel, Dinning Out, Health and Fun! Thank You, Happy Healthy Day!!!
What’s a good body lotion that’s pure. I’m actually looking for one for itchy skin.
I love the yuka app I have been using it for a couple of months. I can’t shop without it!!!
Thank You,
Your choice of hand creams was important and needed in the health and beauty
community. I’m excited to try your choice by Attitude, Sephora and Nuxe. I love the ingredients in all three brands.
Please send a listing for the best facial and foot lotions/creams
Happy Healthy Day!!!
Went to Sephora for mascara and Yuka helped me find the best product without harmful ingredients. Not sure the salesperson was happy with me.
Love, love, love the app. I left many products on the shelves since using the app. Thank you!!

Love the list of good products thank u for that. Keep them coming
Thanks for the information I usually get some hand creams from grove and I Yuka them. I’ll definitely try the ones listed also.
I have been using L’Occitane for 15 + years do great to see on the list. Study was very helpful.
Thank you for this extremely helpful information . I look forward to your next study.
Consider adding Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream (40% glycerin) for cracking very dry hands. This is the only hand cream with 40% glycerin on the market. Just a dab is enough to cover both hands. Great stuff.
I love and enjoy your information thank you !!
Thank you for sending this great information!! I will support the ones listed
Yuka is my favorite app. I use it all the time. Thank you for all the research you do.
Thanks for the information it helps a lot
Coconut Hand Balm is my favorite reasonably priced hand cream. Thanks for the valuable info on others I can safely choose.
I appreciate the list of hand creams as I apply many time a day.
It’s amazing the research you do. Thank you so much for your time and efforts in keeping us updated on all the products.
Thank you for what you do and for your help with allowing us to know about everything in the grocery products.

What do you recommend for creepy skin?
Thanks fir sharing! I love that you’re doing this. It’s so difficult trying to figure out what’s bad and good on my own!
Crepey skin is an issue. Is there anything that can eliminate this condition?
This is good information but I am desperate to find something for crepey skin. Is there anything that will eliminate this condition?
I love the Yuka app….not only does it rate the product but breaks down the plus and minus features.
Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you !!! I’m new to a chronic condition of eczema . I need a good hand cream when I’m in a non flare up
Thank you for these healthier and effective hand lotion recommendations and all the valuable information you continue to provide.
Thank you, it’s good to know. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Wow, thank you, hadn’t used any of these & will get one to try today!
Pure Unrefined Shea Butter should be at the top of this list. It penetrate all 3 layers of skin and heals on the cellular level. What you need comes from nature.
Great news ✌🏽🙏🏽💕
Thank you! This is so helpful!! I like Beekman’s pure goat milk. So happy to see it rated 100/100.
I was just thinking about needing to find a healthier hand cream the other day! Thank you so much for saving me the all the time and effort of figuring one out. You’re the best!
Thank you, I’ll try the Badger Balm
Thanks!
Thanks for the amazing information! Excited to try 1 at least.
Thanks for this great info. I will try the goat milk hand cream. 👍🏽
Have you considered Melaleuca’s Renew?
The outermost layer of the skin is the epidermis, and its top layer is the stratum corneum–this is your body’s moisture barrier. This waterproof barrier physically protects you from harmful bacteria and other pathogens while also secreting bacteria-killing oils. Loss of moisture leads the skin to shrink and crack, exposing the cells beneath.
Keratin-filled cells (corneocytes) maintain skin hydration, but the moisture they absorb is lost as dead skin sloughs off, replaced by new cells. Without proper moisture levels, the epidermis becomes less flexible, leading to premature aging, irritation, and adverse affects on other body networks.
Renew Intensive Skin Therapy Lotion provides the key hydration needed to support the body’s moisture barrier with clinically proven results in less than 24 hours!
Literally the BEST! Has like double the moisture than Eucerine. It will stay absorbed into my skin for a couple of days even after showering. I don’t need to apply it everyday. Their basic hand cream is wonderful too. 😀
Where do We purchase this product??
Thank you so much for that information I really appreciate it did not think there was anything out there that works like that. I have skin issues. I am susceptible to getting cellulitis in my lower legs quite frequently due to dry skin and bacteria, etc. and so on so fed up I have a friend that sells Melaleuca. I will be putting an order in for some thank you so much for the info.
Thank you, for this. I’ve been wondering what CeraVe was rated as it’s used several times a day. I will now switch to one of the 10.
Thank you so much for these informative emails! You are so very much appreciated for all you do!
Thanks for the ratings. Please rate facial moisturizing cream.
Thank you for sharing!! I love Yuka!
I really appreciate seeing the top-rated hand creams. I never know which lotions are a good option, so these product notes are very good for us. Thank you.
Pls rate shampoo for me
Thank
Thank you! I love Yuka! Please rate body creams for us.
Any suggestions for crepey skin 👵🏻
Thank you so much! A great assortment and well priced! Perfect stocking stuffers for everyone!!! 🎄
Thank you, this is great info. I have very dry, cracked hands and am always looking for good hand creams. I also have allergies to certain ingredients so my skin is always breaking out!
I just love YUKA. Thank you for this review and for finding one that is vegan.
Thanks. I love this type of helpful information.
What are the top rated facial cleaners?
Thanks… it’s so hard to find great products without shea butter that smell great at a good price… I’m allergic to Shea, so I miss out on a lot of products. I love fragrance.
Thank you for this information Julie. I get very dry hands during the winter and this will help tremendously.
Thanks for all the information! Yuka has been my go to on all shopping trips for 3 years! I scan everything!
Great Info on hand cream. Thank you
Glad to find a family friendly hand balm. 😊
The EO is 2 for $19.99 and the Attitude is $12.99 for one. I don’t know where you found it for the prices you list, but sadly this is all too pricy for us seniors on social security. Once again, the safe stuff is for the well-to-do.
Dee I read your post. Please email me. I would love to gift you the EO or whichever product you would like to try.
Great info on hand cream. Thank you!
Thank you for that app, it is so helpful!
Thank you so much for this app! It has completely changed mine and my wife’s lives! Before, we had such a hard time trying to figure out what was actually good for us and you guys have taken all the guess work outta shopping. Again, thank you so much!!!
Thanks. Got recs on body creams/oils for 70 yr. old skin?

So appreciate having this knowledge as I shop, have been trying to use up product to replace my poorer choices.
Thank you
Thanks for the info
Thank you. This is a great help. It is helping me through my cancer journey.
Great app! Are any creams available in environmentally-kind packaging, eg plastic-free? I also find pouring a small amount of pure olive oil feels really good on the backs of my hands.
Thank you,what do you recommend for body cream
Also need a good face cream.
I just ordered Necessaire today. Looking forward to trying it. I’m very familiar with the event called cream products, which are also excellent.
Would you please post ratings on a body lotion that nourishes my 60 year old thirsty skin.
How about for the face? Male face, not too concerned with crows feet etc., just dry face in the winter.
This information is very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for all your good works! Especially about Preservative in your Food JFK jr should be giving you an award!!!
Many Thanks Again,
Thank you for the information. My husband and I go in the grocery store and we yuka everything possible. I tell all my friends about the app. I love this app.
These are in plastic or metal. Seems potentially toxic?
My fingertips torture me all winter, they crack and split and bleed and I have to wear little rubber tips or bandaids on them. Ugh. not to mention ouch. I will try your list, starting with Badger Balm now that I know it is kind to humans. Thank you!
Thanks that information was helpful
Thank you!! Love getting this kind of information
Thank you. This review was very helpful. Ten brands pretty much guaranties I’ll be able to find one near me without going online and burning more fossil fuel in order to deliver. Would you kindly do face creams next?
Thank you for the great info , I am always desperately seeking healthy hand & body lotions , I also need to know where to purchase the recommended ones , I live in a small town where products are limited , please help 🙏
Thanks man 👍🏼

Thanks. Please do one for face. Please
Thank you! Very helpful list. I especially like that approximate prices were included. I’d like to see lists like this more often…. maybe facial soaps and creams!
What is the best sunscreen?
I am elderly and you have no idea how much I love this app. especially your recommendation.
