How Our Emollient Cream Is Made, Right Here in the USA

No Outsourcing. No Nasties. Just Really Good Emollient.

Made 20 Minutes from Our Headquarters in PA

What makes HawkGrips' emollient cream stand out? It’s not just the smooth, clean feel or the fact that it’s trusted by clinicians around the world. It’s how it’s made: locally, intentionally, and without compromise… right near our headquarters. 

No supply chain delays. No questionable ingredients. Just clean, vegan, non-toxic formulation crafted in small batches by people who care. Come behind the scenes to see how each jar of our emollient goes from mix to lid, with full control at every step. 

How Our Emollient Cream Is Made

Step 1: It Starts with a Clean Formula

Every jar of emollient starts with a skin-friendly formula, mixed in small batches, close to HawkGrips HQ. We don’t mess with harmful chemicals or mystery fillers. Instead, we stick to a clean, vegan, paraben-free emollient cream with ingredients you can trust.

What’s not inside? No Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives. No Parabens. No sketchy stuff.

As Sam L., LMT, puts it: “Its paraben-free and skin-friendly ingredients appeal to health-conscious users like myself.”

Gary Reinl adds, “Love that it’s chemical-free— who wants chemicals rubbed into their body anyway?!”

Our emollient is available in both fragrance-free and vanilla and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It’s a top choice for professionals who care about what goes on their patients (and on their own hands). 

Step 2: Blended to Perfection

Like your favorite comfort meal, our signature emollient cream cooks low and slow in a high-grade insulated tub. This step ensures the cream develops its smooth, consistent texture with no lumps.

Step 3: Branded and Labeled with Care

While the cream cooks, each jar is labeled with the HawkGrips branding and all the key product info. This is not just about aesthetics. It’s about care, consistency, and quality control.

By handling labels locally, we ensure every detail is sharp, clear, and correct. It's one more way we keep full oversight on the production process.

Step 4: Filling the Jars

Once it’s ready, the emollient flows into each jar through a tube system. This part of the process is satisfying to watch, but more importantly, it means every jar gets the perfect fill and texture. 

Step 5: Cooling for Consistency

The filled jars are set aside to cool and congeal, locking in the final consistency and perfect texture. This step makes sure every jar is uniform and easy to use, without clumps or separation.

Step 6: Lids On + Ready to Go

Once sealed, the jars are packed into cases and delivered to us in Conshohocken, PA. From there, our emollient ships out to clinics and professionals across the country and around the world.

Every Jar, Backed by Intentional Process

Our emollient cream isn’t just another topical— it’s a product built on purpose. We know what you put on your patients (and yourself) matters. That’s why we keep things local, clean, and tightly controlled.
