The Bite:
Take ours. Our fave organic hand creams steer clear of chems sometimes found in conventional creams...the ones you should really only handle with gloves on.

The Benefits:
- Moisturized mitts. It's never too late to become a hand model.
- Less hand-wringing. Avoid questionable chems like hormone-disrupting parabens found in some conventional creams.
- Cleaner for critters. Every time you wash your paws, chems on your hands wash down the drain and can end up in nature.
Personally Speaking:
Heather has sampled hundreds of creams over the past couple years. Her current fave is Pharmacopia's rosemary hand cream, which she applies before sleep every night. Well, unless her hands are otherwise occupied that evening...
Wanna Try:
- Pharmacopia Hand Cream - scented, with skin-calming ingredients like comfrey; available in citrus, ginger, lavender, or rosemary ($15).
- Laveré Ultra Protection Hand Cream - contains different plant extracts to lighten age spots, plus SPF 10 ($49).
- TerraNova Sakura & Green Tea Hand & Body Cream - rich formula with shea butter and antioxidant-rich green tea extracts ($18).
- EO Hand Cream - mango seed butter moisturizes while betaglucan (from oats) stimulates collagen renewal ($8).
Cocktail Fact
Liberace, Keith Richards, and Harvey Lowe (winner of the first World Yo-Yo Contest in 1934) all took out insurance policies on their hands.
Bang For The Bite
You're in safer hands with our natural picks, but better creams won't single-handedly save the world.
