Developed by dermatologists, the Sebamed Hand and Nail Balm is a mild, deep-moisturizing formula that relieves dry, chapped hands and naturally maintains the strength of nails against breakage. Non-greasy and rapidly absorbed, it is enriched with allantoin and vitamin B5 to support skin's natural health, while keratin promotes natural firmness and elasticity. Every sebamed product is meticulously formulated to a pH balance of exactly 5.5, precisely the pH of healthy skin. This is essential in maintaining your skin's natural hydrolipid barrier against environmental stress. Any other pH level, such as found in soap may leave your skin open to break-down and deterioration.
