I found a combination of products that makes a strangely semi-solid texture when mixed together in the method I mix it. This product has the consistency of a hair styling wax, maybe like some pomades. It actually ends up a good bit softer than shea butter but similar in hardness. It is very easily picked up on a finger to spread but would have to be squeezed out of a tube for any other way to apply.

All in all, I have found this to be a superior moisturiser to all those that I have tried prior to this but the consistency is different than 98% of them. I don't see a problem with spreading the product but is there a preconceived idea about how a hand moisturiser should feel?

This is mostly oil and for some reason, it doesn’t leave an oily residue as it readily soaks in and is undetectable after 60-90 seconds of application, but it has intense moisturising attributes.

So, I'm asking is texture is a major issue when shopping for hand moisturiser and if a thicker paste would not be popular.
 
As a consumer, I HATE getting lotion under my fingernails. I get lotion in a tube for that reason. I am thinking of including some kind of applicator, like a tiny spoon, in my lotion jars.
 
Hi I making lotion and creams for years. You can make them or runny as you like. You can control your emulsifying wax. Here's mine the hibiscus hand cream ImageUploadedBySoap Making1419842065.060156.jpgImageUploadedBySoap Making1419842141.681259.jpg
