Hand cream
Natural hand cream restores what water, cold and hard work take away from your hands: rich care with shea butter, plant oils and natural active ingredients. Many formulas are vegan, free from mineral oils, quick to absorb and made with straightforward ingredients.
How to recognise a good hand cream
- Absorbs quickly: good care leaves no greasy film to get in the way while you carry on working.
- Free from mineral oils: shea butter and plant oils nourish the skin rather than simply sealing its surface.
- The right format: from the 30-ml tube for on the go and the classic 50-ml cream to a solid Zero Waste hand balm.
- Hands and nails together: products such as Speick Thermal Sensitiv Hand and Nail Care give your nails equal consideration.

Practical know-how: care that fits into everyday life
Apply hand cream straight after washing, while your skin is still slightly damp. A small format or solid hand balm is ideal for taking with you – it lasts a long time and comes without a tube. Very dry hands will appreciate a generous layer overnight.
Which hand cream helps with very dry, hard-working hands?
Rich formulas with shea butter are the first choice here. Apply a thin layer several times a day, then a generous amount before bed so the care can work overnight.
What is a solid hand balm?
Solid care such as the Zero Waste Hand Balm comes without a plastic tube, lasts a long time and is ideal for your bag or travels. Warm it briefly between your palms, massage it in and you’re done.
What complements hand care well?
Mild solid soap is half the battle when it comes to hand care – it cleanses without unnecessarily drying out the skin. Pair it with natural lip care, organic body oil and foot care – thoughtfully curated at Taiga Shop.
