Barrier-Repair Hand Balm · $25
Your hands break down
the barrier fifty times a day.
This rebuilds it.
Handwashing, sanitiser, cold air, friction — your hands lose moisture faster than any other skin on your body. Velvet Touch applies the same barrier-repair logic as a facial serum: ceramide replenishment, deep-acting humectants, and shea-derived lipids that mirror what the skin loses, not just coat the surface.

Key ingredients
Three ingredients doing what hand cream rarely bothers to.
Shea Butter
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter · Cold-Pressed
Cold-pressed shea is rich in triterpene alcohols with documented anti-inflammatory and barrier-restoring activity. Its high oleic and stearic acid content mirrors the skin's own lipid composition. It absorbs without leaving a film, which is why Velvet Touch doesn't compromise grip or dexterity after application.
Ceramide NP
Ceramide 3
Ceramides make up approximately 50% of the lipids in the skin's outermost layer — and hand skin loses them faster than almost anywhere else due to frequent washing. Ceramide NP replenishes the lipid mortar between skin cells directly, restoring the barrier from within. Without ceramide replacement, moisturisers produce temporary softness; with it, the repair compounds over time.
Allantoin
Allantoin · Comfrey-Derived
Allantoin accelerates cell turnover in thickened skin — exactly what forms at knuckles, cuticles, and around the nail bed from repeated washing. It helps shed the surface layer of dead, roughened cells that make hands feel coarse. The result isn't just softer skin; it's skin with a visibly more even texture over consistent use.
How to use
After every wash.
Overnight for deeper repair.
Apply immediately after handwashing
Pat hands until slightly damp — not bone dry — then dispense a pea-sized amount and work across the backs of hands, palms, and between fingers.
Massage into knuckles and cuticles
Use your thumb to work the balm into each knuckle and press it gently into the cuticle line. Fifteen seconds per hand is enough — the allantoin needs contact time with thickened skin to work effectively.
Use throughout the day — as often as needed
Each application rebuilds the ceramide layer incrementally. The cumulative effect produces lasting softness rather than short-term surface slip.
Apply generously at bedtime for overnight repair
A slightly thicker application before sleep allows ceramide and shea to work without competition. For cracked or very dry skin, apply and wear cotton gloves overnight.
