    Hand Cream?

    Just wondering, what do you use for hand cream that won't transfer to your wood?

    Gloves in a bottle if you can find it. It dries oil free and will not wash off. I used it in an industrial environment where where I had my hands were in solvents and wet all day long. It was the best I found. Apply a thin coat and let dry.

      I use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing to deal with the dry climate up here (6400' elevation). I can't say whether it will transfer to wood but it is very effective at dealing with dry skin. The callouses on my feet will crack if I walk around in bare feet (we have heated floors) during the winter. This stuff heals the cracks like magic. Doesn't feel greasy, either.

          I use O'Keeffe's and although I can't say for sure that it doesn't, I haven't found that it transfers onto the wood. It's just never been as issue for me.

            Second that on

            O'Keefe's "Working Hands". Never notice it spoiling any wood.

              And a third on O'Keefe's "Working Hands". That stuff does wonders. Don't typically use it during the day, but apply a generous amount before I go to bed. Heals the skin over night!

                Dave,

                Thanks for the link! O'Keefes on the way to very dry Alaska! Thanks for all input from everyone else too.

                  It also works well on dry and cracking feet. O"Keefe's actually markets a product specifically for feet but a close inspection of the active ingredients on both packages finds them to be identical.

                    I find that Gold Bond Ultimate works for me, and it's cheap.
