Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Keep your hands happy and healthy with this lightweight, fast-absorbing hand cream.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

A repairing blend of olive squalane, jojoba oil, shea butter, macadamia oil, kokum, and mango butter delivers a hearty hit of hydration, fatty acids, and antioxidants to keep skin supple and moisturised.

A dash of oat milk creates a deliciously smooth and creamy formula, while a squeeze of papaya extract boosts skin luminosity.

Finished with the fresh fragrance of bergamot, grapefruit, lime, and mandarin essential oils, it promises to delight the senses.

80ml

How To Use

There are no rules – apply it as often as you’d like throughout the day for soft, hydrated hands.

Ingredients

Olive Squalane

It might sound oily but this hero hydrator has a consistency similar to the skin’s natural sebum so it sinks in beautifully leaving no residue behind. Improving elasticity and shielding against moisture loss, it also boosts cell regeneration to help restore any damage.

Papaya Extract

This exotic fruit isn’t just sweet and juicy, it contains an enzyme called papain that works as a natural exfoliator so any dry, dead skin on your hands flakes off and you’re left with a soft, smooth surface. It’s also full of antioxidants that fight free radicals in the atmosphere and vitamin A that can improve skin tone and minimise the appearance of dark spots.

Oat Extract

Often used in products for babies or those with sensitive skin, oats are famed for their skin calming credentials and contain components that can soothe irritating conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. Oat extracts are also full of beta-glucan which works with vitamin E to repair skin and boost collagen so the backs of hands look plump and smooth.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Reviews

Smells great, goes a long

"Smells great, goes a long way, I am a dog walker who washes their hands way too much and this cream is helping keep the painful dry skin at bay. It starts off greasy but is quickly absorbed and lasts ages. It isn't gimmicky and finally I have found a cream that works. Also, as a coeliac it is great to find a gluten free oat containing cream!"

— Becky F. (5/5)

Just a hand cream

"I've been exploring the market looking for a sustainable handcream that works on dry cracked hands. This isn't therapeutic and it stings, I haven't seen any improvement in my hands. The scent is too overpowering. This is just an ordinary hand cream. I'd be interested in a tamanu/oaty version, something like Aveeno."

— Laura (2/5)

Q&A

Hey, Is this safe in pregnancy: Hi Dagmara, thank you for getting in touch. Yes, our Superfood Hand Therapy is safe for use in pregnancy and when breastfeeding. We hope this helps!
Is this ok to use with eczema?: Hi Fran, thank you for getting in touch with us. As it is more suitable for a product that is going to be used on eczema is unscented, to avoid any irritation being caused and because our Superfood Hand Therapy contains essential oils from bergamot, lime, grapefruit and mandarin, this wouldn't be a cream that we would automatically recommend. Our Tamanu Cream sensitive skin saviour would be more suitable as this has been validated by dermatologists that it aids the relief of eczema symptoms and extra sensitive skin. This can also be used on the face and body. We hope this helps
I’ve been using this hand cream for a few weeks now and everytime I use it my hands sting so badly and go bright red and blotchy. I’m so gutted because I use the cleanser and toner and I LOVE them and I’ve never had any issues. Do you have any idea what this could be in aid of? My hands are VERY dry and being a Carer I’m always wearing gloves and washing my hands etc so I’m not sure if it’s just because my hands are so dry. Thanks: Hi Natasha, thanks for getting in touch with us. We are so sorry to hear your hands sting and go red when using our Superfood Hand Therapy. It does sound like there is an ingredient in this that your skin does not respond well to. You may be better suited to our Hand Creambalms which you can find here on our website https://tropicskincare.com/products/hand-creambalm. We do appreciate that not all products will suit everyone so you can, of course, return this back to us for a refund or an exchange as part of your 30-day Happiness Guarantee. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions! :)
How much lotion is in this tube please? I can’t see how many ml on the description.: Hi Lauren, thank you for getting in touch with us. Our Superfood Hand Therapy is 80ml. We do hope this helps.
Has the formula changed? It seems thicker and the packaging feels different and smaller. I used to find that so much would spill out when squeezing but now it feels thicker and richer: Hi, we did make the formula richer and improved the texture about a year ago by increasing the hydrating elements and emollients, however this is not a recent change. Please could you get in touch via our contact form with the BBE number of the product you are using for us to investigate this further for you. We look forward to hearing from you.
What size is this?: Hi, the Superfood Hand Therapy is 80ml.
