Review : C'est Naturel Comfort Hand and Nail Cream


Product Description
This quick absorbing hand and nail cream hydrates and nourishes dry skin, helps in skin renewal and effectively heals small wounds leaving skin soft, smooth and protected. Daily use helps strengthen nails.
I have been using this 110ml sized bottle of hand cream for about 1.5 months in office. The packaging, while functional is not portable enough to slip into small handbags. It comes with a flick type of cap which is easy to open and close without hurting the fingers.
White and creamy, it smells nice and reminds me of baby talc powder. It has a silky texture and absorbs pretty quickly into the hands. However its not heavy-duty stuff for my sometimes severely dry hands. On a normal day, it works fine.

In terms of ingredients, it does contain triclosan and benzophenone-3 which may not be preferred.
Triclosan is suspected of causing cancer in humans (source) while Benzophenone-3 is known to cause photoallergic reactions in humans. (source). A more technical read-up on Benzophenone-3 can be found here. You can also read about how FDA have rebutted on the danger of Tricolosan here.
Note that both ingredients are the last 2 on the list which meant that the percentage is at its minimum compared to the rest.

Ingredients:
Demineralized Water (Aqua), Stearic Acid, Isopropyl Myristate, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Aloe Vera (Barbadensis) Gel, Fragrance (Parfum), Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Leaf Extract, Dead Sea Salt (Maris Sal), Tocopherol (Vit. E), Geranium
(Maculatum) Extract, Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) Extract, Palm (Elaeis Guineensis) Oil, Triclosan,
