Our DMAE + MSM Peptide Hand Cream pairs a beautifully rich, comforting base with Syn®-Coll and panthenol to care for dry, hardworking and mature-looking hands. Aloe, glycerin and a nourishing blend of coconut, jojoba, meadowfoam, avocado and sunflower oils leave the skin feeling remarkably soft, conditioned and protected.
DMAE and MSM complement the formula’s smoothing and conditioning benefits, while Syn®-Coll and panthenol provide additional support for hands regularly exposed to washing, weather and daily wear.
Each variety is naturally scented with a proprietary aromatic blend of essential oils and botanical extracts, with no synthetic fragrance added.
Choose Your Scent
Posh Pumpkin: A polished, warm blend of vanilla, blood orange and comforting autumn spices.
Barrelhouse Cider: A rich, rustic blend of bright citrus, cider-inspired spices, davana, chamomile and tonka.
Method of Application
Apply a small amount to clean hands.
Massage into the backs of the hands, palms, knuckles, cuticles and other areas prone to dryness.
Reapply after handwashing or whenever the skin feels dry, tight or uncomfortable.
For more intensive overnight conditioning, apply a slightly fuller layer before bed and gently massage until absorbed.
During the day, follow with sunscreen on exposed hands as part of a complete routine.
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Because this product is naturally aromatic, patch testing is recommended for sensitive skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

DMAE + MSM Peptide Hand Cream – Posh Pumpkin or Barrelhouse Cider
This is delightful. I think it was on sale or I got a.sample to try and loved it. One thing to note: it smells lovely but does not smell like mango. I misunderstood that the first time I ised it. It light, rich, absorbs easily, and leaves no weird texture afterwards. A very lovely experience.

My face loves this facial balm !!
Love this new formula with the frankincense so much that I had to get the larger size! I've been using hyaluronic acid plus squalane oil as a moisturizer because I couldn't find a moisturizer that didn't irritate my face or make it drier. I like that this balm has a few simple amazing ingredients with no added fragrance or preservatives. It doesn't irritate my skin or flare up my rosacea. This is the only moisturizer that has actually provided hydration for my skin. I use a small dab at night so the product lasts for many months and leaves my skin with a healthy glow.
This is still my favourite cleanser after many many bottles! It never fails. So gentle it Doesn’t leave my skin dry yet still is cleansing and refreshing - my go to!

Such a lovely oil!
Such a lovely oil!
It glides on so smoothly, feels like a substantial oil without leaving me greasy, and I love that it has a mild color so I can put it on directly. I live in the Southwest so it’s so fun to use the oil from a plant that I see around me all the time! Thank you Garden of Wisdom for being the oasis in the desert and delivering such wonderful products!
