Your hands face constant stress from washing, sanitizer, and the environment. This formula combines humectants, emollients, and soothing ingredients that hydrate, soften, and comfort the skin. Glycerin draws in moisture, shea butter and jojoba lock it in, and allantoin helps calm and smooth rough areas. The result is hands that feel instantly relieved and stay soft through the day.

Originally formulated with healthcare workers in mind, it delivers lasting hydration for hands that are washed, sanitized, and used all day long.

Apply a small amount to clean hands and massage until fully absorbed. Reapply throughout the day as needed, especially after washing or exposure to cold or dry air.

✨ Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and overworked skin.

Most hand creams focus only on moisture. Ours goes further by balancing hydration with barrier care. The fast-absorbing, fragrance-free formula nourishes with shea butter and glycerin while soothing irritation with panthenol and allantoin. It restores comfort without heaviness, making it ideal for daily use, all climates, and all skin types. It was created with healthcare workers in mind -people who wash their hands constantly and need hydration that’s fragrance-free, fast-absorbing, and safe for patients.

Dermatologist-Recommended Jo Collection Hand Cream
Powered by science

While you sleep, your skin switches from protection to repair mode. Cell turnover increases, barrier recovery accelerates, and active ingredients absorb more effectively. The Essentials Set is designed to sync with that natural rhythm, helping your skin rebuild overnight for smoother, stronger mornings.

Healthy skin renews itself roughly every 28 days, but that process slows as we age. The Essentials Set supports your skin’s natural renewal rhythm with daily exfoliation, hydration, and repair. With consistent use, you’ll see visible improvement in tone, texture, and radiance- proof that consistency really works.

Every product in the Jo Collection is developed and manufactured in our in-house certified cGMP facility for quality, safety, and consistency. Each batch is produced under pharmaceutical-grade standards, ensuring clean formulas, stable actives, and trusted results you can feel confident using every day.

Our story

Inspired by family, grounded in research.

Jo Collection began when our founder damaged her skin trying to fix it. With help from her father, a pharmaceutical chemist, and inspired by her late mother, a trained cosmetician, she turned that experience into a science-backed routine that works with your skin- not against it.

Nice moisturizer without unnecessary artificial fragrances.

I'm not familiar with this brand, but I'll keep my eye out for it in the future. This hand lotion feels very nice and deeply moisturizing--and yes, that's WITHOUT any strong obnoxious scent. Personally, I don't mind a scented lotion, though artificial fragrances do sometimes irritate my skin. But my husband is very sensitive to scents, so it's nice to be able to use it beside him in bed or in the car without making him sneeze or giving him a headache. It's made with clean, non-toxic ingredients and is gluten-free. Best of all, it's vegan and 100% cruelty-free! Happily recommended.

Completely unscented!

The most important thing about anything that’s advertised as fragrance free is that it actually is fragrance free - and this hand cream is! Neither I nor my husband could smell a thing in this cream.Performance wise, I have nearly no complaints - the consistency is actually in between that of a typical lotion and that of a typical cream, which ended up being perfect to me. Perhaps best of all is that this cream absorbs into your hands quickly, and leaves NO greasy residue behind! My only small complaint is that it doesn’t do much to moisturize the cuticle area.

good hand cream

This hand cream makes my hand feel soft and hydrated without the sticky feeling. The cream is quite thick so there is no need to use a lot. It is a bit expensive for the amount of cream you get but it's very effective so it's definitely worth it

4 1/2 stars Like a soothing gel -absorbs well & scent free! Not for really dry, chapped hands.

This hand cream has a gel like consistency. As such it spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It is soothing on the skin and sort of feel like aloe vera gel. I like that it is fragrance free, paraben free, sulfate free and phthalate free. It is great fo people with sensitivities or allergies. So perfect for children and infants, too! However, since it does not have a creamy, thick consistency it is not really that good for chapped or very dry skin that you want to protect or seal moisture in. It is more of a temporary moisturizer. This is why it is called a moisture boost.

Gives My Hands A Moisture Boost

There's a lot to love about this tube of Scentless Hand Cream. A small dab hydrates my hands...giving them the moisture boost that is stated on the label. I love that this is fragrance-free! The no-fragrance means that those with allergies can moisturize without any kind of reaction (rash or breathing problems). The no-fragrance also means that those who like to wear perfume or cologne can moisturize without the cream battling with their choice of scent.This is an awesome moisturizer! It's small enough to fit in my purse. It is non-greasy and really does absorb quickly and completely. There's no sticky residue left behind. I like it very much!
