Hand Cream & Hand Moisturisers

Shop Hand Cream at The Body Shop

Choose a hand moisturiser by texture, then scent. The Hemp Hand Protector is a rich cream, and it also comes in the Heavy Duty Moisture Set with the Hemp Body Butter and Hemp Foot Protector. The Shea, Almond Milk, Moringa, Vanilla, Dewberry, and Pumpkin Hand Balms are rich balms, and the Strawberry, Satsuma, and Pink Grapefruit Hand Creams are non-greasy gel-creams. For scent, the Vanilla Hand Balm and Strawberry Hand Cream are sweet, the Satsuma and Pink Grapefruit Hand Creams are citrus, and the British Rose Hand Cream is floral.

What is the best hand cream for very dry hands?

No single hand cream suits everyone, so start with texture. The Hemp Hand Protector is a rich cream for dry, hardworking hands, and the Shea Hand Balm is a rich balm. Both are made for hands, knuckles, and cuticles. For dry, sensitive hands, the Almond Milk Hand Balm is another rich balm. Apply either the Hemp or Shea formula after washing your hands, and reapply through the day whenever your hands feel dry.

What's the difference between hand cream and hand balm?

A hand balm usually feels thicker than a hand cream. The Mango Hand Balm and the Coconut Hand Balm are rich balms with 96hr moisture. The British Rose Hand Cream is a non-greasy gel-cream that absorbs quickly. Choose a balm for a richer feel and a gel-cream for something lighter.

Is hand cream different from hand lotion or body lotion?

Hand lotion usually means a lighter hand cream, so the British Rose, Strawberry, Satsuma, and Pink Grapefruit Hand Creams are a closer match than the balms. The Strawberry Hand Cream is a lightweight gel-cream that absorbs quickly. Massage it into dry hands, fingers, nails, and cuticles. For arms, legs, and the rest of the body, reach for a body lotion instead.

Which hand cream is good for men?

Men can choose a hand cream the same way, by texture and scent. The Hemp Hand Protector is a rich cream, while the Satsuma Hand Cream and Pink Grapefruit Hand Cream are citrus-scented gel-creams. The Daily Moisture Set pairs the Hemp Hand Protector with Hemp body and lip care, so it suits a simple men's grooming routine.

Do you sell mini or travel-size hand creams?

Yes, the Mango, Coconut, Dewberry, and Vanilla Hand Balms come in 30ml, as do the Strawberry, Satsuma, and Pink Grapefruit Hand Creams. Like our other minis, a 30ml hand cream fits a handbag, desk drawer, or gym bag and doubles as a travel hand cream. The Shea, Dewberry, British Rose, and Strawberry Mini Gift Boxes each pair a 30ml hand cream or balm with a shower product and a body butter. The Hand Care Trio brings together the Shea Hand Balm, Mango Hand Balm, and British Rose Hand Cream in 30ml, making it a simple bath and body gift.

Find Your Hand Cream at The Body Shop

A good hand cream is one you'll use often, so start with texture, then scent. Keep a 30ml size by the sink or in your bag, and a 100ml size on your bedside table with the rest of your hand and foot care. The Shea, British Rose, Dewberry, and Almond Milk ranges also come as gift sets built around each scent.
