Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this hand cream effective for very dry and cracked hands?

The combination of Shea Butter (occlusive — seals moisture in), Mānuka and Kānuka oil (antibacterial and anti-inflammatory for damaged skin), Calendula (wound-healing and anti-inflammatory), and Bisabolol (potent anti-inflammatory from chamomile) addresses both the moisture deficit and the skin repair needs of chronically dry and cracked hands. The formula absorbs well without leaving hands greasy — important for people who need to use their hands immediately after applying cream.

Is this suitable for hands damaged by frequent washing (healthcare workers)?

Yes. Manuka Biotic Restorative Hand Cream is particularly well suited for people whose hands are damaged by frequent washing, use of antibacterial soaps, glove use, or chemical exposure. Apply after each hand wash while hands are still slightly damp for best penetration and moisture sealing. The Mānuka and Kānuka oils also provide some ongoing antimicrobial protection to the skin surface.

Can this cream help with hand dermatitis (contact eczema)?

Yes. The anti-inflammatory Mānuka oil, Bisabolol, and Calendula are particularly beneficial for contact dermatitis on the hands. Apply generously to affected areas multiple times daily. For severe hand dermatitis, use in conjunction with your dermatologist or GP's treatment advice — the cream is an excellent emollient support alongside prescribed treatments.

Is the formula suitable for the nail and cuticle area?

Yes. The formula is suitable for direct application to nails and cuticles. The Mānuka and Kānuka oils have antifungal properties that may also help with early nail fungal infection around the cuticle area (do not apply under the nail plate — this requires a specific antifungal treatment).

How often should I apply the Restorative Hand Cream?

For best results, apply after every hand wash and before bed (overnight application with cotton gloves provides intensive overnight repair). During the day, apply every 2–4 hours as needed. There is no maximum daily application — the more frequently you apply, the faster dry and cracked hands recover.
