Product details

Care for hands

A light, buttery hand cream with birch sap from Inje, hyaluronic acid and ceramides for dry hands and rough nails.

Round Lab took the birch sap behind its Birch Juice line and put it in a pocket-size hand cream for hangnails, rough skin and dry hands. The soft butter-cream texture melts in and adheres without stickiness, and keratin extends the care to nails.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Inje birch sap

    Sap of silver birch trees from Inje, Korea, rich in amino acids and minerals. It brings moisture to dry skin and keeps it hydrated.

    No. 17 of 42 on the list

  • Glyceryl glucoside

    The core moisturizing ingredient of the resurrection plant, which survives in arid deserts. Round Lab uses it to help skin take in water.

    No. 24 of 42 on the list

  • Hyaluronic acid + ceramides

    Hyaluronic acid supplies hydration while the ceramides form a dense moisture barrier over dry hands.

    No. 30, 32, 33, 35, 37, 38 of 42 on the list

  • Shea butter, squalane + keratin

    Shea butter and squalane give the cream its rich, softening feel. Keratin, the key protein in nails, adds care for nails and cuticles.

    No. 4, 9, 31 of 42 on the list

Hands are skin too

Birch-sap moisture to keep in a bag or on a desk, for hangnails, rough patches and hands that wash a lot.

Good to know

  • Contains added fragrance, a fresh scent Round Lab likens to a dawn birch forest (bergamot, jasmine, lily of the valley, musk and sandalwood notes). Skip it if fragrance bothers your skin.
  • Absorbs without a sticky or greasy layer, per Round Lab.
  • 30 mL tube.
