The Barielle Professional Protective Hand Cream is a rich formula with a sunscreen, Vitamin E, Wheat Germ Oil and Vegetable Protein.Since this is such a rich formula, you may enjoy using this to protect against sun, water and wind or extreme cold. For daily use, it seems very rich, but could be used at night.It absorbs well, but there is definitely a shiny nature to the product, which you may or may not like. This cream has a pleasant ocean blue color.~The Rebecca Review
