Deep hydration. Daily hand ritual - for protected, silky soft hands.

In Ayurvedic tradition, the hands are where care begins and ends. They are the instruments of every ritual - the hands that apply, that massage, that tend. And yet they are the most exposed part of the body: washed repeatedly, dried by climate, aged by sun and friction before anywhere else.

Te-ate - the Japanese act of placing hands on something with care; begins with caring for the hands themselves.

In Ayurvedic tradition, the hands are where care begins and ends. They are the instruments of every ritual — the hands that apply, that massage, that tend. And yet they are the most exposed part of the body: washed repeatedly, dried by climate, aged by sun and friction before anywhere else.

Te-ate — the Japanese act of placing hands on something with care — begins with caring for the hands themselves.

"Silky soft hands don't happen. They're tended to."

Hand skin is different. Thinner, with fewer sebaceous glands than the face or body, it loses moisture faster and recovers more slowly. Daily washing strips what little natural oil remains. Cold air, central heating, and friction do the rest.

A hand cream that sits on the surface helps temporarily. One that works at the barrier layer; replenishing lipids, binding moisture, protecting what's there; changes how hands feel by end of day, and over time.

This is that cream.

Welcome home to your softness.

What to know

Apply a small amount to clean hands and massage in until fully absorbed. Focus on knuckles, cuticles, and the backs of hands - the areas that lose moisture fastest.

Use as often as needed throughout the day. For best results, apply after every hand wash while skin is still slightly damp; this helps seal in residual moisture before it evaporates.

The 270ml size is designed for home use. Keep by the sink, at the desk, or on the bedside table as the final step in your evening ritual.

Sunflower Seed Oil - high in linoleic acid; replenishes the skin barrier's lipid layer and supports lasting moisture retention without heaviness.

Cocoa Seed Butter - rich, deeply conditioning emollient that melts into skin on contact. Provides the cream's signature velvety texture and long-lasting softness.

African Mango Kernel Butter (Irvingia Gabonensis) - a luxurious plant butter rich in fatty acids; supports barrier repair and skin suppleness. Gives the formula its staying power between applications.

Sodium PCA + Sodium Hyaluronate - two complementary moisture-binding actives. Sodium PCA is naturally present in skin; hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the environment and holds it at the skin's surface. Together they keep hands hydrated throughout the day.

Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract - rich in carotenoids and antioxidants; supports skin resilience and a natural radiance. Consistent with the broader Okaeri range.

Cloudberry Fruit Extract (Rubus Chamaemorus) - exceptionally high in antioxidants and vitamin C; supports skin renewal and protection against environmental stress.

Blueberry Fruit Extract (Vaccinium Myrtillus) - antioxidant-rich; supports skin tone and protection against daily oxidative damage.

Vitamin C - stable, oil-soluble vitamin C; antioxidant protection and support for an even, radiant skin tone on the hands.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - antioxidant stabiliser; supports barrier integrity and protects the formula's botanical oils.

Cellulose - plant-derived texture agent; gives the cream its smooth, fast-absorbing finish without synthetic thickeners.

Frequently asked questions

Most hand creams sit on the skin's surface and provide temporary softness. This formula works at the barrier layer - cocoa butter and African mango kernel butter replenish the lipids that lock moisture in, while sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA bind moisture throughout the day. The result lasts longer between applications.

No. Despite the richness of cocoa butter and mango kernel butter, the formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film. The cellulose and caprylic/capric triglyceride base give it a smooth, fast-absorbing texture suitable for frequent use throughout the day.

As often as needed; ideally after every hand wash. Frequent washing strips the skin's natural oils faster than almost any other daily habit. Reapplying after each wash is the single most effective thing you can do for chronically dry hands.

Yes. At the recommended usage; a small amount applied several times daily; 270ml provides approximately 3–4 months of use. The size is designed for home placement rather than travel: by the sink, on the desk, or as the final step in your evening ritual.

Yes. The formula is 99% natural origin and free from harsh synthetic ingredients. Those with fragrance sensitivity should note the formula contains a natural fragrance blend including limonene and linalool; patch test before first use.
