Why the tube by the sink never keeps up.

Knuckles split when you make a fist, and fingertips catch on every jumper. The hand cream was meant to help. Here's why it never got ahead.

You're paying for watered-down ingredients.

Look at the back of most tubes and you'll see water first on the label. The ingredients your hands need are thinned out to make it squeeze, so you're rubbing in a diluted product.

Fine on soft hands, for a bit.

A light cream feels nice for a moment, then your hands are back to tight and sore. Once skin splits, it keeps splitting, and a thin lotion was never made for hands that work hard.

Squeeze, use, rebuy.

You need a lot of a thin cream to feel anything, so the tube runs out, another bit of plastic goes in the bin, and you're back at the shop.

Hands that stop catching on everything.

Warm it between your palms before bed and work it really well into your hands, cuticles and nails.

Contains nut butters and oils, so every swipe is the stuff your hands actually need. Work it in before bed and it protects cracked skin overnight, with no greasy finish.
Zinc to soothe and protect split, cracked skin. Less pain in the morning, and hands that feel like yours again.
One bar lasts 6+ months. Keep the tin by the bed, the door or in the van, and when it's done, simply refill the bar, not the whole thing.

"I work a manual job in British winter and therefore my hands are always cracked and cut but so far this is definitely giving relief."

Gethin J. — Manual job, British winter

How we're different.

Heavy Duty Hand Bar	Typical tube hand cream
Protection you can feel all shift Sinks in rather than sitting on top, built for working hands	Water-based. Washes off. Surface-level protection that disappears
Protects and soothes cracked skin Zinc oxide protects and soothes overnight	Just adds temporary moisture Surface treatment that doesn't repair
Concentrated bar lasts months 55g bar, months of daily use from one	Tube runs out in weeks Expensive per-use, constant repurchasing
Built for working hands Tested by people who actually use their hands	Designed for cosmetic use Formulated to feel nice, not to protect and repair

★★★★★

"Easy to apply and provides a non greasy coating to hands. ... I bought the tin for storage which is a great way of keeping the bar clean and easy to pack in your bag or rucksack."

Maree B. — Bought the tin, packs it in a rucksack

Every ingredient matters.

Our formulas are built on filters that went through years of EU safety review.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY

Zinc Oxide protects and soothes irritated, cracked skin. Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter provide long-lasting moisture. Coconut Oil lowers water loss and has the strongest evidence here for dry, eczema-prone skin. Jojoba Oil helps everything spread without greasiness.

Built from personal experience.

When several close friends, including Jono, were diagnosed with cancer in their thirties, it changed everything. LifeJacket was born to make everyday skin protection simple, reliable and part of normal life.

GOOD TO KNOW.

Will this work on really damaged hands?

Yes. The zinc oxide protects and soothes irritated, cracked skin while the concentrated butters seal it in overnight.

Does it wash off when I work?

No. It soaks in within minutes, so you're not working with greasy hands. It sinks in rather than sitting on top, though hands need topping up through the day.

Will it make my hands greasy?

No. It sinks in within minutes. Your hands will feel protected, not slippery.

How long does one bar last?

6+ months with daily use. A little goes a long way with this concentrated formula.

Can I use this on other dry skin areas?

Absolutely. Works on elbows, heels, knees - anywhere you have tough, dry skin that needs repair.
