My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Pink Grapefruit Hand Cream from THE BODY SHOP is primarily intended for individuals experiencing dry skin on their hands. This product aims to restore comfort, suppleness, and softness to the skin, which is often stressed by frequent washing, external aggressions, or temperature changes. My opinion of the formula is positive: it focuses on moisturizing and lipid-replenishing agents, while incorporating plant extracts to strengthen the skin barrier.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this cream:

• Glycerine : A powerful humectant, it attracts and retains water in the stratum corneum, ensuring immediate and lasting hydration.
• Shea butter Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it intensely nourishes, repairs, and protects the skin from external aggressions.
• Vegetable oils (sweet almond, grapefruit, babassu, soybean) They provide essential lipids, strengthen the skin barrier, and contribute to skin elasticity.

The synergy of these active ingredients results in a texture that is both light and effective, suitable for daily use without leaving a persistent greasy feeling.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream to clean, dry hands as often as necessary, especially after washing or when my hands feel tight. It can be used morning and night. It is compatible with most conventional moisturizers, but I recommend avoiding immediate use with exfoliating products or products containing irritating active ingredients (acids, retinoids) to limit any risk of sensitivity.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths of this cream lie in its rich moisturizing and nourishing agents, its non-sticky texture, and its pleasant fruity fragrance. One possible drawback is the presence of fragrance and allergens (limonene, linalool, citral), which may not be suitable for very sensitive or atopic skin. In conclusion, this is an effective and sensorial skincare product, ideal for dry hands in need of comfort and softness.
