The formula is designed to leave a protective layer on the skin. The liquid paraffin (mineral oil) component forms a light, even film that sits on the surface. It is not designed to absorb instantly like a lotion; instead, it creates a barrier that feels smooth and supple, thanks to the addition of coconut oil. For many users, this leaves hands feeling softer and more shielded but may take a minute or two before it's fully settled. If you prefer a completely non-greasy, matte feel, this product may not be the best choice.
For best results, apply a pea-sized amount and massage it in until it feels evenly distributed. Wait a few moments before handling papers or touchscreens. Many find it works well when used in the evening or before outdoor activities, as the protective layer can help shield skin from wind and cold.
