Thin Skin On Hands Aging Rapidly & Cruelty-Free Solutions
We’ve helped you pamper your hair with our vegan hair mask recipe and buff your body with our vegan body scrub recipe. But now we have something special for your hands. The Caavakushi team has noticed that our hands often tell the real story of our day. Between constant washing and exposure to the elements, your hands can actually age 20% faster than your face because the skin on the back of the hand is so thin. So shouldn’t you be using something like a shea butter hand cream to protect them?
The Caavakushi team feels that skipping hand care is a major mistake! Many commercial heavy-duty creams rely on lanolin (aka sheep grease!) or beeswax to create a moisture seal. We think it’s time to use only plant waxes and butters. These are not only cruelty free but also breathe with your skin rather than suffocating it.
The Science Of Supple Skin
Why Almond Oil and Shea? The Caavakushi team looked at the data: Sweet Almond oil is an emollient that has been used for centuries to treat dry skin conditions. Scientific findings suggest that the Vitamin E and fatty acid content in almond oil can improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of sun damage by up to 25% (Our source: PMC4972746).
When paired with Shea Butter, which contains a 5% to 10% concentration of phytosterols, you are creating a biological shield. Research shows that these plant sterols can increase skin barrier regeneration by 55%, making it the ultimate defense against the winter itch.
The Caavakushi Team’s Vegan Shea Butter Hand Cream
This cream is non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and perfect for keeping on your desk or by the sink.
What You’ll Need:
– 1/4 of a cup of Shea Butter: (The Caavakushi team thinks this provides the perfect balm texture.)
– 2 tbsp of Sweet Almond Oil: (For deep penetration and a totally smooth finish.)
– 1 tbsp of Candelilla Wax: (A vegan alternative to beeswax derived from shrubs! It provides that 100% protective barrier.)
– 5 drops of Lemon Essential Oil: (To brighten skin and leave a fresh, vegan clean scent.)
How To Make It:
– Melt the Shea Butter and Candelilla Wax in a double boiler over medium heat.
– Once fully liquid, stir in the Almond Oil.
– Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes before adding the lemon essential oil (heat can kill those lovely aromatic benefits!).
– Pour into a small tin and let it set for 2 hours.
Caavakushi Tip: Apply this after using your Caavakushi vegan milk cleanser recipe in the morning. The Caavakushi team have found that applying cream to slightly damp hands locks in 30% more hydration!
The Stats On Vegan Growth
The Caavakushi team thinks this statistic is mind-blowing: The global vegan skincare market is expected to grow by nearly 7% annually through 2026 as people flee from animal-tested products (Our source: Grand View Research). By making your own, you will be 100% sure no animals were harmed for your soft hands.
Hand-Crafted Compassion
The Caavakushi team thinks there is something so rewarding about a full-body routine that is entirely home grown. From our Caavakushi vegan toner to our rich Caavakushi vegan shea butter hand cream, you’ve removed toxins, saved money, and stood up for animal rights. Your skin and the planet will thank you!
