Product Overview

Think about the daily assault on your hands, washing, drying, (often sanitizing) over and over again, every day. That constant exposure strips away moisture and weakens the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Yes, your hands do a lot of work for you, so let our Helping Hands Balm do some hard work for your hands by providing the daily TLC they need.

This ultra-rich organic hand cream, brimming with nourishing plant oils, cocoa butter, beeswax, and soothing botanicals, forms a breathable barrier that seals in moisture, soothes, softens, and helps skin stay comfortable and resilient. The perfect solution for overworked hands that do work.

Why a Balm Works Better for Hardworking Skin

Lotions are mostly water — often 70–90%. They can feel nice at first, but once that water evaporates, dry skin usually returns quickly.

This balm works differently. Using plant oils, butters, and beeswax helps:

Seal in moisture and support skin that struggles with dryness.
Reduce ongoing moisture loss
Protect skin from repeated exposure to drying conditions

Our rich, water-free balm is designed to help protect dry, overworked skin from further dehydration. Because it contains no added water, a little goes a long way — and there’s no need for preservatives.

Why It Works

This ultra-rich balm relies on time-tested emollients to support moisture retention:

Unrefined Shea Butter — helps soften dry skin and support the skin’s natural moisture barrier
Coconut Oil & Sunflower Seed Oil — plant oils that help condition skin and support moisture retention
Beeswax — forms a protective, breathable barrier that helps prevent moisture loss

Together, these ingredients help keep skin moisturized, protect against dryness, and improve the feel of rough skin.

More Than Just for Hands

Despite the name, this versatile balm works beautifully on:

Dry patches everywhere
Rough elbows and knees
Dry cracked heels (for sandal-ready feet)

Truly a helping hand for every part of your body.

How To Use

Natural Healing Hand Cream Gently massage the balm onto clean hands daily after work, gardening, leisure activities, or anytime your hands needs a little extra care (especially during Winter). For best results, apply after washing hands thoroughly, while hands are still warm.

Very concentrated--so a little goes a long way
Apply to dry skin trouble spots as needed throughout the day
Within minutes it melts into your skin--leaving skin feeling ultra soft and supple
Especially effective if used when skin is still warm and damp after washing or bathing

Dry, chapped hands, especially after washing, is a common problem. Here are some tips to help.

Soap: Use a mild, moisturizing natural soap and stay away from detergent bars or liquid washes
Water temperature: Very hot water can cause your skin to lose moisture more rapidly, leading to dryness. So keep the temperature lukewarm.
Hand sanitizers are great to use when soap and water are not available, but many can dry and irritate skin. Moisturize your hands after the hand sanitizer has dried. Our Lotion Bars are easy to carry for some portable hand TLC.
Gently dry hands. Your first instinct is probably to dry your hands until not even a drop of water is left. But it’s actually better to leave your hands a bit damp after drying it helps seal in moisture when using a moisturizer.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Use a gentle, natural, fragrance-free moisturizer. Stay away from lotions (which are mostly water) and go straight to a thick cream or salve that is rich and thick to provide more moisture to your skin.

If you have very sensitive skin or are simply trying a new product for the first time, we always recommend doing a patch test.

For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Best if used within 6 months of opening.

Shea Butter Note

Our Shea Butter is unrefined and has not been bleached or deodorized.

Pure unrefined shea butter has an earthy, nutty, smokey scent that ranges from mild to strong and can be quite pungent. Since our shea butter is a natural, unrefined product it retains its natural scent, color, and nutritional benefits. The scent and color of unrefined shea often vary from batch to batch.

Read our Shea Butter Tutorial which explains the various types of shea butter as well as why we believe that the benefits of unrefined shea butter far outweigh the cons of its smokey, pungent scent.

Reviews

Holy grail of hand creams!

"This is literally the BEST hand cream I have ever used. As it’s a nice thick balm a little goes a long way. I’ve also put this on elbows and feet. Since I find it heals up rough skin quickly"

— Susan (5/5)

Perfect Hand Cream!

"After decades of searching I have finally found the PERFECT hand cream. No weird chemicals that irritate skin. Healing compounds to help with dry winter hands. I started routinely using this on my husband’s hands when they were chapped and bleeding this year and they’ve improved SO much. It’s a nice thick balm so you really don’t need to apply much either."

— Susan (5/5)

I just start using and

"I just start using and I think I like it."

— DIANE S. (5/5)

"Game changer!! My desire to eliminate plastic from my skincare routine has resulted in a match made in heaven for my temperamental dry, mature skin. I've never used a balm before, but after watching estheticians use it on YouTube on their clients, I thought I would give it a try. Not only is it great for my hands, but I'm now using it on my face as well. I just rub my fingertips into the balm, add a little water, emulsify, and apply. A little goes a long way, and it makes my skin feel soft, soothed, and protected all day, without any greasiness or irritation. And the scent is heavenly too! So not only can I ditch my hand lotion in the plastic squeeze bottle, but I get to eliminate extra steps and products. Highly, and enthusiastically, recommend!"

— Tabitha (5/5)

Best hand cream ever

"This is THE best hand cream ever. I gave it out as stocking stuffers last year, and several people requested it again this year. I like that it melts into my skin without feeling greasy or sticky, and that my skin feels softer after repeated use. It's a must-have for winter, but great to use all year."

— E H. (5/5)

I love this company

"I have been buying and using Chagrin Valley soaps and shampoo bars for almost a decade because they are always dependably great. I always order extra around the holidays for gift giving and people love it. They all smell so good, and work so well."

— Sibel D. (5/5)

Best Hand Cream Ever

"In my job I wash my hands many many times a day and, especially in the winter, my hands get dry and cracked. This is the best thing I've ever found! Bought 2 jars for coworkers!"

— Jennifer B. (5/5)

"The best hand cream has tremendously helped cure my husband’s dry cracked winter hands"

— Susan (5/5)

"My hands finally don't hurt or itch after a couple applications!"

— Heather (5/5)

Amazing product

"I have a jar of this everywhere. It soothes my dry skin and greatly helps when it is itchy or inflamed. I put this on my sons sunburn and fir the first time he did not blister and peel. He had his wife purchase some for my granddaughter. Love this product"

— Teresa V. (5/5)

Q&A

Hi there, I've been a fan of the helping hands balm for many years. Through the packaging and name change :-) And recently when I got my delivery the balm has a notable smell change and I noticed the recipe is different as well. I'm curious why it changed. It seems to be missing a lot of the botanicals. I'm really missing the old smell and the herbs. Thank you!: Hi Willow, Thanks so much for reaching out! We did change the recipe on the helping hand balm, we apologize you are not happy with these changes! We made the newer formulation to be overall more gentle on the skin without as strong of a scent but with all the same skin soothing benefits. We found that a lot of customers thought it was a bit too overpowering of a scent to be using regularly on their hands. We again apologize you were not happy with these changes! If you are unhappy with the product or not able to use it, let us know and I can issue you a refund or a store credit to try a different product that might be more to your liking. I hope this helps! Our apologies again for the inconvenience and I look forward to hearing back from you soon! -Christina, Chagrin Valley
This question is about the smell or scent of the Hand Balm. When I did the Help Me Choose, I put in "no added scent," and the Hand Balm is one of the products that came up. Several reviewers say the product smells wonderful, so I wonder what scent they're referring to? Could it be the herbs in it, such as peppermint, which has a strong smell? (Note: I am fine with the smell of unrefined shea.) My husband has reactive asthma, so I have to make sure I'm not wearing body products that bother him. . . . If you believe this product has a notable scent, is there another product(s) you would recommend for dry, aging hands that has no added scent? I would order that one instead. Many thanks!: Hi Caroline, Thanks so much for reaching out! While our healing hand balm does not have any added essential oils, it does have some herbs and botanicals steeped into the oil blend so it does have a very mild earthy/ mint scent to it. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and have a great day! -Christina, Chagrin Valley
Is the container glass (ie. recyclable)? does it come in any other (larger) size?: Hi Caroline, Thanks so much for reaching out! Yes, the container for the Intense healing hand balm is glass! Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns and have a great day! -Christina, Chagrin Valley
What does Six Months refer to?: Hi There, Thanks for your question! This product is best when used within 6 months after opening. Hope this helps! Thanks again for reaching out and please contact us anytime with additional questions! -Christina
I’m local. Is it possible to pick up my order? Thanks: Hi There, Yes, we have an option at check out in the shipping options where you can select to have your order packed for pick up at our warehouse in Solon, Ohio! If you have any questions or need any assistance placing your order, please contact us at any time! Have a great day! -Christina

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Warum sollte ich eine natürliche Bio-Körpercreme verwenden?

Warum eine natürliche Bio-Körpercreme verwenden …

Es ist natürlich

Natürliche Bio-Körperbutter aus geschlagener Kakaobutter Zunächst einmal ist es ein reines Naturprodukt. Handelsübliche Lotionen sind das NICHT. Unsere Körperbalsame und Sheabutter enthalten nur die Inhaltsstoffe, die sie zur Befeuchtung Ihrer Haut benötigen.

Cremes und Lotionen mit synthetischen Inhaltsstoffen reizen oft empfindliche Haut, verschlimmern gereizte Hautzustände und lösen allergische Dermatitis aus.

Die von uns verwendeten Bio-Öle und -Butter enthalten KEINE Chemikalien auf Erdölbasis (Mineralöl, Vaseline, Paraffin), keine chemischen Emulgatoren (DEA, MEA, TEA), keine chemischen Konservierungsmittel (Parabene, Harnstoff), kein Propylenglykol, keine künstlichen Farbstoffe oder synthetischen Duftstoffe.

Keine Konservierungsstoffe

Ist Ihnen schon einmal aufgefallen, dass Ihre Haut beim Verwenden Ihrer Körperlotion nie feucht bleibt und Sie immer wieder zur Lotionflasche zurückgreifen müssen?

Achten Sie auf die Inhaltsstoffe. Der Hauptbestandteil einer Lotion ist Wasser! Sobald Wasser zur Herstellung einer Lotion hinzugefügt wird, sind Konservierungsstoffe erforderlich, um Schimmel- und Bakterienwachstum zu verhindern.

Keine Alkohol- oder Erdölbestandteile

Handelsübliche Lotionen enthalten oft Isopropylalkohol und/oder Mineralöl. Beides trocknet die Haut stark aus. Der Alkohol sorgt durch Verdunstung für ein vorübergehendes Kühlgefühl.

Mineralöl ist ein klares, flüssiges Öl ohne Geruch und verdirbt nicht. Es ist sehr preiswert, da es als flüssiges Nebenprodukt der Erdöldestillation zur Herstellung von Benzin und anderen Erdölprodukten aus Rohöl entsteht. Es ist in Lotionen, Seifen, Babyöl, Kosmetika und Motoröl enthalten. Mineralöl

Es eignet sich hervorragend zum Ölen Ihrer Holzschneidebretter – aber nicht für Ihre Haut. Mineralöl dringt nicht tief ein und macht die Haut nicht weich. Es zieht schwer ein, bildet einen Überzug auf der Haut und verstopft die Poren. Für eine gesunde Haut sollten Sie auf Hautpflegeprodukte auf Mineralöl-, Tierfett-, Erdöl- und synthetischer Ölbasis verzichten.

Es hat so viele Verwendungsmöglichkeiten

Wir wissen, dass natürliche Körperbutter hervorragende feuchtigkeitsspendende Körpercremes sind. Aber hier sind einige weitere Möglichkeiten, wie wir diese Balsame und Butter verwendet haben:

Werden Sie Ihre rissigen Fersen los
Sanft in sehr trockene Bereiche Ihres Gesichts einmassieren
Beruhigt und glättet die Haut nach der Rasur
Geben Sie einen Klecks in Ihr heißes Badewasser, anstatt synthetische Badeöle zu verwenden
Massieren Sie etwas davon in Ihre Nagelhaut ein, um sie weicher zu machen
Für einen tollen, ganz natürlichen Lippenbalsam in die Lippen einmassieren

TIPP: Wenn Ihnen das Anwendungsgefühl einer Lotion besser gefällt als das einer Creme, massieren Sie unsere reichhaltigen Schlagbutter nach dem Baden oder Duschen in die warme, feuchte Haut ein. Warten Sie einen Moment und tupfen Sie die Haut anschließend sanft trocken. (Nicht trockenreiben!)

Da eine Lotion lediglich aus viel Wasser und Ölen besteht, fühlt sich eine reichhaltige Naturbutter auf warmer, feuchter Haut ähnlich an.

Denken Sie daran, die Haut ist das größte Organ des Körpers
und es muss atmen als Teil seiner
wichtige Rolle bei der Erhaltung der allgemeinen Gesundheit!

Sind die Zutaten und Produkte von Chagrin Valley vom USDA als biologisch zertifiziert?

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve ist ein USDA-zertifiziertes Bio-Unternehmen

Der wichtigste Aspekt eines jeden Unternehmens sind seine Kunden. In der heutigen Welt voller irreführender Behauptungen, falscher Werbung und schlichter Täuschung versuchen Verbraucher oft, die Wahrheit über Körperpflegeprodukte und deren Inhaltsstoffe herauszufinden.

Wir möchten, dass unsere Kunden wissen, dass wir uns bei allem, was wir tun, der Transparenz verpflichtet fühlen.
Wir möchten, dass unsere Kunden wissen, dass wir es ernst meinen, wenn wir „biologisch“ sagen .
Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass sich unsere Kunden als USDA-zertifiziertes Bio-Unternehmen keine Gedanken darüber machen müssen, ob wir tatsächlich zertifizierte Bio-Zutaten verwenden oder ob unsere Bio-Produkte wirklich biologisch sind.
Deshalb haben wir uns dazu entschieden, ein zertifiziertes Bio-Unternehmen zu sein und die strengen Standards einzuhalten, die für die Bio-Zertifizierung erforderlich sind.

Einige meiner Lieblingsprodukte werden mit Zutaten hergestellt, die es nicht als Bio-zertifizierte Produkte gibt. Warum? Derzeit gibt es keine Standards für Inhaltsstoffe, die speziell in der Körperpflegeindustrie verwendet werden. Die Bio-Zertifizierung von Körperpflegeprodukten basiert auf den Bio-Lebensmittelstandards des National Organic Program des US-Landwirtschaftsministeriums (USDA).

Da wir jedoch ein zertifizierter Bio-Betrieb sind, sind wir verpflichtet, nachzuweisen, dass auch unsere „nicht-biologischen Zutaten“ ohne den Einsatz von giftigen Pestiziden, gentechnisch veränderten Organismen (GVO), Klärschlamm oder Bestrahlung hergestellt wurden.
