Hand lotion

[nursingismycalling25]

My hands crack because I wash my hands so much in general what's a good non-scented, non burning, non-greasy, hypoallergenic (if possible) hand lotion that you recommend?

[Cinquefoil]

Cetaphil, which is also approved by my facility to be good with nitrile gloves (will not break them down like some other lotions do).

But at home, I love using thick salves made of olive oil and beeswax. Easy to make, buyable at natural food stores if you don't have time to make them, usually smell really good and are usually very non toxic.

For hands I like Eucerin and Gold Bond hand lotion.

Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream or L'Occitane (the plain shea butter formula)

I can't recommend enough, Weleda Sea Buckthorn hand cream. It's a little expensive but that's because it's an amazing quality, all-natural, herbal-based product, and I SWEAR by it. Got all my co workers hooked on it too. Treat yourself:

Neutragena Norwegian hand cream works best for me. I agree with Cinquefoil that you should verify that you are using an approved lotion.

Neutrogena Norweigan is a favorite of mine, but I wouldn't call it entirely non-greasy. CeraVe lotion is very gentle on skin as well as being light and unscented.
