Ingredients
These have very little odor. They include a lot of currently popular natural ingredients along with a few ingredients not favored by those most into that kind of thing.<br /><br />Barrier<br /><br />It isn't quite like a protective glove. Probably does help with protection for a limited time, not a whole day of work with your hands, during which it gets absorbed, wiped away, worked out by other substances and so on. Takes a couple minutes to soak in, but it's not very greasy once it does.<br /><br />Active ingredient: dimethicone.<br />Inactive ingredients: deionized water, stearic acid, propylene glycol, glyceryl stearate, isopropyl palmitate, Ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, cyclopentasiloxane, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexyglycerin, sodium hydroxide, mineral oil, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, xanthan gum, disodium EDTA, acrylates copolymer, Aloe barbadensis leaf extract.<br /><br />Hand cleaner<br /><br />Looks like it has plenty of charcoal, it's so dark, but more of the grit--and it's very gritty--is from pumice than charcoal. Does't foam, cleans surprisingly well anyway, moisturizes a little.<br /><br />Ingredients: aloe leaf juice, pumice, glycerin, sunflower seed oil, sorbitol, carbon [that's the charcoal], grape seed oil, lanolin oil, vitamin E acetate, xanthan gum, carbomer, 2-phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium hydroxide.<br /><br />Hand cream<br /><br />Not a heavy-duty cream but has some nice stuff in it that's thought to help with skin health, moisturizes for a while.<br /><br />Ingredients: water, glycerin, stearic acid, dimethicone, sunflower seed oil, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, allantoin, petrolatum, hydroxyethylcellulose, aloe vera, Symphytum officinale (comfrey) rhizome/root extract, Calendula officinalis oil, tocopherol, diazolidinyl urea, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, sodium hydroxide.<br /><br />Workman's Friend is a brand about two years old based in Texas. The hand cream and soap are made in the US, the barrier is made in Canada.
