These 6 hand creams will not leave a white mark on clothes

When a friend recently asked me to help her find a hand cream that wouldn’t leave a white mark on black pants, I was slightly taken aback. I didn’t even know this was a problem that existed. For her, as a person who has to wear a dark suit every day, hand creams are a problem that is difficult to avoid. Almost every cream leaves a mark around her pockets or on her jacket. Then I threw myself into testing. I took all my hand creams that I had at the time, massaged them as I would normally, waited a bit for them to be absorbed and patted them on my black pants. A really large amount of hand cream, even after I felt the cream was absorbed, left a white residue. Then came the second part of the mission – how to find a cream that does not leave a white mark. Since the day my friend pointed out this problem to me, I’ve been testing every hand cream I come across on my black pants.

What hand cream formulations are we looking for?

The formulation of a hand cream that will not leave a white mark should be very light, and this characteristic is usually described on the packaging as a fast-absorbing cream. Those extremely nourishing and fatty creams are excellent for the bedside table as a long-term treatment before bed, but for a busy daily routine, they will leave a white and greasy mark everywhere. So, for example, if we see in the description of the action how the cream nourishes extremely deeply, it is most likely a cream with a greasy texture, so we will leave it for the evening routine. It is desirable that the hand cream that travels everywhere with us has a light and non-greasy texture, because who has time to wait for the cream to be absorbed.

Chanel La Crème Main hand cream with an award-winning packaging design, it is one of the most popular hand creams. It is characterized by its action where it is absorbed quickly and leaves the skin extremely soft thanks to panthenol. The gentle texture, which is enriched with licorice extract to lighten the skin, melts quickly under the skin. It comes with a light and refined fragrance that turns every experience of applying this hand cream into a mini spa treatment.

Rituals Recovery Hand Balm Ritual of Mehr is a moisturizing hand cream with an extremely fun scent that lifts the mood. Although the word balm is in its name, the cream is absorbed very quickly.
