Alcohol-free hand cream that sanitises, moisturises and protects in one go. Keeps skin in good condition through a full working day in dirty, cold or wet conditions. Quick-drying and non-greasy, with up to 2 hours of antibacterial protection.
Most hand sanitisers do one job and leave your skin feeling like sandpaper by lunchtime. Active Hands takes a different approach, combining a barrier hand cream, moisturiser and sanitiser into a single product that actually works in real working conditions. Cold weather, wet hands, grease, grime, and repeated washing all take their toll on skin over a long shift. This is designed to deal with all of that.
The formula is alcohol-free, which matters if your hands are already dry or cracked. Alcohol-based sanitisers can make existing skin damage significantly worse. This one kills germs and prevents the spread of bacteria for up to 2 hours, while the moisturising barrier actively protects against further cracking and irritation. You get clean, protected hands without stripping them further. Hands still feel like hands at the end of the day, which sounds like a low bar until you’ve spent a week in November laying block paving.
Where Active Hands Barrier Hand Cream Works Best
This product was developed with hard-working environments in mind. Landscapers, engineers, plumbers, mechanics and tool room staff all deal with conditions that punish unprotected skin. The barrier function is particularly useful when working with soils, oils, solvents and other materials that can cause contact dermatitis over time.
It is also approved for use in food preparation and healthcare settings, which makes it a practical choice for anyone who needs a compliant sanitiser without the harshness of standard alcohol gels. One product covers a wide range of situations without any complicated product rotation.
Quick-drying and non-greasy means you can apply it and get straight back to work. No waiting around, no slippery grip on tools. If you go through hand cream at any kind of volume on site, buying this in bulk makes obvious sense.
Pro Tip: Apply a small amount before starting work as well as after washing hands, the barrier function works best when it is already on the skin before exposure to wet or dirty conditions.
Active Hands is used across a wide range of trades and industries where hands take a beating throughout the working day. Landscapers working in wet and cold conditions, plumbers dealing with constant hand washing, engineers and mechanics handling oils and solvents, and tool room staff all benefit from the combined sanitising and barrier protection this cream provides. It is also used in food preparation and healthcare settings where alcohol-free sanitiser compliance is a requirement.

Is this suitable for use under gloves?
Yes. The non-greasy, quick-drying formula means it does not affect glove grip or cause gloves to slip. Applying it before putting gloves on can actually help protect skin from the sweating and irritation that builds up during extended glove use.
Is it genuinely alcohol-free, or does it contain other harsh solvents?
The sanitising action is achieved without alcohol or harsh solvents, which is why it is suitable for repeated daily use and approved for food preparation and healthcare settings. It is specifically formulated for environments where alcohol-based products are unsuitable or cause skin problems over time.
Active Hands is a multi-action, alcohol-free topical cream formulated to combine sanitising, moisturising and barrier protection in a single application. The formula is designed for frequent use in demanding work environments, providing up to 2 hours of antibacterial protection while the moisturising agents help maintain skin integrity against cracking and contact irritation. Compliant with food preparation and healthcare use requirements.
