PLUNKETT NS WORKING
HANDS INTENSIVE
Plunkett NS’s Working Hands Intensive cream is a non-greasy, non-slip hand treatment formulated to instantly restore dry, cracked, calloused or split hands. Because it’s fast drying, you can apply
it at work without fear of sliding on
your knife handle. The repair treatment contains vitamin E, honey, allantoin, rose hip and aloe vera to soothe skin, while kaolin stops the skin from feeling greasy. Applied three times daily or as needed,
it helps to nurture your skin and create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface to prevent your hands from falling back into old, uncomfortable habits. www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/ buy/86764/plunkett-ns-working-hands- intensive-150g
