Best Lotion for cracked hands?

Published

I will be working in the NICU, so I know my hands will become dry from all the washing. Anyone have some suggestions for great hand lotions?

Thanks!:nurse:

Cetaphil. I don't use any lotion at work though.

Where I work we have Cavilon made by 3M, non greasy, quick absorbing, latex compatible, and fragrance free. While I love the different smells of lotions/body wash (I am a reforming bath & body addict) patients/coworkers can be sensitive to the smells. I work with a nurse who came to work reeking of patchouli (sp?) and it made me feel like puking. I've been conscientious to not where fragrances/lotions to work as I know not everyone enjoys them.
