C.O. Bigelow Chapped Hands Balm No. 1012 with Glycerin 40.3% – 1.7 oz Hand Cream for Dry Skin

Meet No. 1012 Chapped Hands Balm

No. 1012 Chapped Hands Balm from C. O. Bigelow is built around a high glycerin content to deliver balanced, everyday moisture for dry skin. With 40.3% glycerin, this formula aims to draw moisture to the surface, helping rough, cracked areas feel softer and more comfortable over time. It’s a reliable option for year round use, designed to work in harmony with your hands rather than weighing them down.

The balm is formulated as non-greasy, so it tends to absorb without leaving a heavy residue. This makes it a practical choice for quick touchups at home, at work, or on the go. In addition to immediate hydration, the cream acts as a protective layer that supports the skin in dry, cold, and windy conditions, helping to reduce the feeling of tightness when outdoor weather is challenging.

Key benefits

• High glycerin content at 40.3% for rapid hydration of dry skin.
• Non-greasy texture that smooths rough skin without a sticky feel.
• Helps prevent future chapping and provides a protective barrier against harsh conditions.
• Leaves hands soft and supple with a glove-like gentle barrier.

How to use

• Apply a small amount to clean hands as needed, focusing on dry areas.
• Reapply after washing or exposure to cold wind to maintain moisture.
• Massage in gently until the balm is fully absorbed for best comfort.

In real life, this balm can be part of your daily routine: a quick touch-up before heading out, after gym or chores, or during long indoor sessions where air can feel dry. The formula emphasizes a care routine that respects your skin’s balance, with a focus on hydration, protection, and a lightweight feel. While individual results vary, many users appreciate the combination of glycerin driven hydration, quick absorption, and a non-greasy finish. The product also reflects a commitment to cruelty-free testing and USA-made production, aligning with values many shoppers seek in a daily-use hand care option.
