Ultimate Strength Hand Salve

Yes, our Ultimate Strength Hand Salve is paraben-free, like all Kiehl’s products.

Yes, our hand salve is formulated to be gluten-free.

Yes, our hydrating hand salve includes shea butter to help nourish and soften dry hands.

The Ultimate Strength Hand Salve is crafted with Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and Sesame Seed Oil to deeply hydrate and soften hands.

While the hand salve is best suited for hands, we suggest using our Buttermask For Lips for extremely dry lips.

Our hand salve is specially designed for hands, but for other areas like the body, we recommend using our Creme de Corps body lotion for hydration.

For dry feet, we recommend using our Creme de Corps body lotion, though the hand salve is ideal for hands.

The skin on the face differs from the skin on the body and requires different care. Hand salves are richer and more nourishing, while face creams are typically lighter due to the delicate nature of facial skin.

Hand salves are generally thicker than body lotions or creams, as they are formulated specifically to address the needs of dry, hardworking hands.

Our scented hand creams, such as those in grapefruit, coriander, and lavender, have a lighter texture compared to the richer, thicker formula of our Ultimate Strength Hand Salve designed for deep hydration.

It depends on your skin needs. Hand salves are thicker and better suited for severely dry skin, while lotions are lighter and can be used for everyday hydration.
