Augustinus Bader The Hand Treatment
This edit puts hands in its title, and for a while the page answered them with two general balms doing double duty. This is the one that takes the assignment seriously: shea and squalane over niacinamide, a ceramide and a peptide, which is the ingredient deck you expect on a face cream and almost never see below the wrist. Sixty dollars for fifty millilitres is a lot of money for hand cream and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
