Guide to Choosing the Right Hand Cream

How to choose the best AHAVA mineral hand cream for dry hands

Hands are one of the first areas to show dryness, irritation, and visible aging. Constant exposure to water, detergents, weather changes, and daily friction weakens the skin barrier and strips away natural moisture, making hands prone to roughness, cracking, and discomfort.

Mineral based hand creams from the Dead Sea address this problem at its source. The high concentration of Dead Sea minerals helps attract and retain moisture, support the skin barrier, and improve overall skin texture rather than simply coating the skin. AHAVA hand creams are powered by Osmoter™, a unique blend of Dead Sea minerals, and are formulated without Parabens or SLS/SLES, making them suitable for frequent daily use.

Choosing the right hand cream depends on the level of dryness and the specific needs of your skin. Below is a simple guide to help you select the most effective mineral based hand cream for your hands.

Why Choose a Dead Sea Mineral Hand Cream?

Hands are exposed to environmental hazards and frequent washing. AHAVA hand creams are powered by the Osmoter™, which hydrates and refines skin texture, and are formulated to be free from Parabens and SLS/SLES.
