“Hand Cream”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Mayrons Goods - Hand Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Mayrons Goods - Hand Cream ticks this box. Sorbitol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Cera alba, ceramide np, cetyl esters, cocos nucifera oil, helianthus annuus seed oil and olea europaea fruit oil in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Price
The product retails from 24.00$ up to 26.95$ in the United States and for 61.75CA$ in Canada.
