Is this cream suitable for sensitive skin, and are there any precautions? — Br buriti aare hand cream 30ml – Junilever

The manufacturer notes that if your skin is very sensitive or reactive, it is wise to test a small amount first. A common way to do this with any new cosmetic is to apply a little to a small area — for example the inner forearm — and wait a day to see how your skin responds before using it regularly. This is standard practice with richer, oil-based formulas, not a sign of any particular concern with this product.

Two straightforward precautions apply:

• The cream is for external use only.
• Avoid contact with the eyes; if it happens, rinse with water.

It is also worth being clear about what a hand cream can and cannot do. This is a cosmetic product: it helps soften the skin, reduce the feeling of dryness and support surface comfort. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any skin condition — if you have persistent irritation, cracking or a diagnosed skin concern, that is a question for a doctor rather than a cream. For everyday dryness caused by washing, weather and chores, however, a nourishing formula like this is exactly the category of product people usually reach for.

Store it as you would any cosmetic cream: closed, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
