Very Hardworkers Handcreme

$24.33 NZD
Approx $13.77 USD

Product Code: M025

Product Size: 100g

Our Very Hardworkers Handcreme is a powerful, intensive balm designed for those who need more than just an everyday hand cream. Unlike lighter creams, this thick, rich formula is specially developed to repair and protect very dry, rough, and damaged skin.

It works wonders not only on hands, but also on cuticles, elbows, knees, and cracked heels. Say goodbye to dryness, roughness, and discomfort—this formula is guaranteed to deliver results.

Originally formulated for Chas, whose hands were badly damaged, cracked, and bleeding from caring for our beehives. Standard creams were not working so we developed a really effective balm type cream that really works.

See the difference for yourself in the images of David’s hands—before treatment and just two weeks after using Very Hardworkers Handcreme.

Long-lasting relief – A little goes a long way, giving hours of protection and comfort. Guaranteed to work.

Hero Ingredients

Beeswax

Beeswax benefits the skin by creating a protective, breathable barrier that locks in moisture, which can help soften the skin and aid in the healing of minor wounds. It also contains antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can soothe irritation, combat acne, and reduce signs of aging by improving skin elasticity and hydration.

Beeswax creates a natural, protective layer on the skin that shields it from environmental pollutants and harsh weather, while allowing the skin to breathe.

Regular use can lead to plumper skin with improved elasticity, helping to diminish the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet almond oil moisturises and protects the skin, helping to alleviate conditions like eczema, and can also soothe dryness. It contains vitamins and fatty acids that strengthen the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and act as a makeup remover. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties also help fight premature aging and skin damage.

Sweet almond oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamins A and E, which deeply hydrate the skin, prevent dryness, and improve its texture and tone.

It helps soothe dry, flaky skin and is used in the treatment of skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Mānuka Honey

Leptospermum scoparium (Mānuka) Honey

Mānuka honey benefits the skin by acting as a natural humectant that hydrates and softens the skin, while its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate acne and soothe irritation. It also contains antioxidants that protect against premature aging and can support collagen production, leading to a more glowing, youthful complexion.

Hydration and softening. Mānuka honey acts as a natural humectant, attracting and retaining moisture to keep the skin hydrated, soft, and supple.

Forms a protective barrier: It helps the skin retain moisture and can improve dryness and leave your complexion feeling radiant.

Acne and blemish control: Its high concentration of antibacterial compounds helps prevent acne-causing bacteria and can be used as a spot treatment for blemishes.

Mānuka honey calms irritation and reduces redness associated with acne and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Rich in antioxidants; Mānuka honey contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radicals, which can cause premature aging.

Promotes collagen production: It helps support collagen production, which is vital for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.

Exfoliates and brightens: By gently exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores, it can reveal a smoother, more transparent, and more luminous complexion.

This is the best hand cream for medical professionals! I get this for my medical team during the winter and it saves their hands from being chapped and it stays in place and offers protection even after multiple hand washes. As a bonus-it smells incredible. This is a must have.

Awesome hand cream - Loved the product. Super creamy and a little goes a long way. Prevents the skin from cracking and drying. I use it on my kids skin where there is dry patches from their eczema and it stops the itching.

Hello, I just wanted to send you a Happy Friday email and let you know that I've recently discovered your "Very Hardworkers Handcreme" and it's fantastic. I don't work as hard as "David" clearly, but it's so hard to find a hand cream that really does make a difference to annoyingly dry hands. Don't go changing.

Very effective cream - I use this cream every night at bedtime and in the morning and my hands and feet are really good now.
You just need a little bit, so it lasts for ages.

I was introduced to this product from a chemist in Mount Maunganui -it is really amazing - for years I have suffered with very dry hands (a gardener who wears gloves). On using this cream - I have found it works within 2-3 days - hands have never felt better.
Also I am using on the soles of my feet, it's great for feet as well.
