Other barrier creams tend to block the pores and wash off after every
wash or simply lose their protective characteristic if the person
naturally perspires. HandShield provides a natural barrier and
continues to moisturise and protect for up to five hours even after
continuous washing with soap and water. So, it's a product that
provides real value.
