Oh no! Boosting for all cat owners.
Something you can do if you need to use this or any other cream on your hands is to get some thicker rubber gloves, put the cream on, then the gloves, then wash your hands with the gloves on. Cream stays on your skin, but it’s safe to touch whatever! This is also good if you have sensitive skin and soap bothers it.
My mom and I both have really sensitive skin and get eczema breakout with some soaps, so we use this when cooking or cleaning or anything during which you wash your hands a lot.
