Can I apply this immediately after using hand sanitiser, or should I wait?

Alcohol-based sanitisers strip surface lipids and can leave hands feeling tight and rough. This cream is formulated for exactly that scenario — the 40% babassu oil complex replenishes fatty acids (lauric, myristic, palmitic, oleic) that support the skin's barrier and reduce moisture loss. Because it absorbs quickly, you do not need to wait once the sanitiser has fully evaporated (usually 15–30 seconds). Applying the cream while the skin is still slightly damp from the sanitiser can actually help lock in residual moisture. There is no interaction risk between the sanitiser's alcohol and the cream's ingredients. If your hands are visibly soiled, wash with soap and water first, pat dry, then apply the cream. Frequent reapplication after each sanitising session is safe and helps maintain comfort throughout the day.
