Dermatitis is the biggest occupational health & safety hazard for hairdressers
As many as 60%* suffer this condition during their career, harmed by constant exposure to irritants and relentless wetting and drying of skin.
For many, the discomfort means taking days or even weeks of unwanted sick leave - only to suffer again on their return. Meanwhile, trainees with less than 2 years experience can be up to 5x^ more likely to suffer because of extra time at the basin, forcing many to consider alternative careers.
After 7 years of development with over 2,000 healthcare professionals and expert cosmetic laboratories, our hand cream was created to offer immediate relief and help restore the skin's natural protective barrier - keeping hard-working hands healthy and at work.
