QV Hand Cream is a moisturizing cream that is designed to protect, nourish, and moisturize the hands without leaving a greasy after-feel. The ingredients of QV Hand Cream include:
-
Aqua (Water): The most common skincare ingredient of all. It is used as a solvent.

Glycerin: A natural moisturizer that is also found in our skin. It is a super common, safe, effective, and cheap molecule used for more than 50 years. It is a skin-identical ingredient and a moisturizer/humectant.
-
Cetyl Alcohol: A fatty (the good, non-drying kind of) alcohol that does all kinds of things in a skincare product. It makes the skin feel smooth and nice (emollient), helps to thicken up products, and also helps water and oil to blend (emulsifier). It can be derived from coconut or palm kernel oil.
-
Paraffinum Liquidum: A super common, waxy, white, solid stuff that helps water and oil to mix together, gives body to creams, and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. It is the attachment of a glycerin molecule to the fatty acid called stearic acid. It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of...) .
