L'Officiel's Beauty Awards 2021: Best Hand Lotion

This past year, we’ve all been washing and sanitising our hands more than ever: Great for hygiene, but bad for the moisture barrier of our skin. That’s why it’s important to give your hands some pampering. Great hand cream will not only hydrate and soothe, but it should also help to ward off damage and protect your skin’s natural microbiome, like Codex Beauty Labs’ Bia Hydrating Skin Superfood.

The hydrating cream is the result of ancient Irish herbal knowledge and modern scientific analysis, partnerships with local organic producers, and high-tech, cleanroom manufacturing. Awarded the seal of approval from the National Psoriasis Foundation, the Bia Hydrating Skin Superfood can be used on your face, hands, or body, and is made with the brand’s BiaComplexTM herbal formula. Bia means “food” in Gaelic, the language of the ancient Celtic tribes of Ireland, and speaks to the heart of this powerful ingredient: Which is to nourish the skin. The patented bio-active blend not only treats and soothes dry, flaky, and irritated skin but also leaves it silky smooth.

The rich cream has calendula officinalis oil infusion to moisturise and protect, while comfrey extracts help to slough off dead skin cells that cause your hands to feel rough. Other ingredients include heartsease to boost skin’s capacity to retain water, while immortelle and marsh mallow plant extracts create a protective, water-retaining film to prevent moisture loss. With frequent use, it will leave your hands smoother, softer, and younger-looking – so feel free to wash them as much as you want.

The Codex Beauty Labs Bia Hydrating Skin Superfood is priced at $48 for 75ml and $15 for the 20ml and is available at www.codexbeauty.sg.
