Allergies & Sensitivities
We believe what we leave out is just as important as what we put in. Use this guide to find the formulas that work best for your specific skin needs.
Avoiding Lanolin?
The Concern: Lanolin is our "stay-put" powerhouse, but we know some skin types are sensitive to animal-derived lipids.
The Solution: You can still enjoy deep hydration with our Lanolin-free options. These formulas use plant-based waxes and butters to protect your skin barrier.
Recommended Products:
Almond Free
The Concern: We use Sweet Almond Butter for its incredible "slip" and deep penetration, but it is a common allergen for those with tree nut sensitivities.
The Solution: You can still get deep-seated relief using our formulas that rely on Lanolin, Jojoba, and Shea butter instead.
Recommended Products:
Nut-Free (No Almond or Shea)
The Concern: For those with highly sensitive "total nut" allergies, both Almond and Shea (derived from the African Shea Nut) may be off-limits.
The Solution: Better Body Butter is our first high-performance "leave-on" treatment that is 100% nut-free, utilizing a sophisticated blend of seed and fruit oils.
Recommended Products:
Sensitive to Fragrance?
The Concern: Some skin types are hyper-reactive to scent, or you may work in a professional environment (like healthcare) where added fragrances aren't allowed.
The Solution:
We offer a fragrance-free version in many of our products. These formulas focus entirely on the "wonders" that botanicals like Arnica and Calendula do for the skin—prioritizing deep tissue repair and inflammation relief over perfume.
Recommended Products:
Vegan Friendly
The Concern: You are looking for a 100% plant-based ritual that avoids Beeswax and Lanolin.
The Solution: Our scrubs and masks are formulated with pure minerals, grains, and plant oils.
Recommended Products:
Gluten-Sensitive?
The Concern: While most of our products are naturally gluten-free, we use specific nutrient-dense grains like Wheat Germ Oil and Brown Rice Flour in a few select formulas.
The Solution: If you have Celiac disease or a topical gluten sensitivity, our core Intensive and Ultra lines are your safest bet.
Avoid:
- Heal My Paws (Wheat Germ Oil)
- 3-Grain Scrub & Mask (Wheat and Rice grains).
A Note on Cross-Contamination:
While we take every precaution to keep our equipment clean and our formulas pure, all Heal My Hands products are handcrafted in a facility that handles nut butters, beeswax, and lanolin.
If you have a severe, life-threatening allergy, we always recommend doing a small "patch test" on your inner forearm before full application.
