Hand & Nail Cream

I must get a new photo. I have lovely new labels now which look so much nicer!

Skinflint Hand & Nail Cream is made with skin softening urea and moisture retaining sodium lactate. The plant oils used are sweet almond and rice bran, two of my favourites.

I also use shea butter in this cream for its wonderful moisturising properties. Shea butter contains a range of beneficial ingredients, chiefly among them are Phytonutrients, Vitamin E and Vitamin A. Phytonutrients which are good for cell regeneration and wound healing. They are anti-inflammatory and have an SPF factor of about 3-4.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and also good for micro circulation. Vitamin A repairs skin and works on the germinal layer of the skin. I also include 0.5% Vitamin E in this cream. (Most skin care companies use less than 0.1%.)

Another ingredient added to Skinflint Hand & Nail is d-panthenol, or Vitamin B3. This vitamin actually penetrates the skin and the top layer of nails. It actually binds water in the outer skin layers, giving a plump, soft appearance to the skin.

Finally, oat protein is used for its humectant properties. This means that it helps the skin retain it's water, similar to the way that d-panthenol does.  It is also conditioning and film forming, so adds that extra protection needed in a hand cream.

Scented with luscious Frangipani, Skinflint Hand & Nail Cream is a bargain basement price at only $10 for 125g. Also available is the large pump bottle with 250g for only $16.50.
