Safe Cream to use
I would think that an organic lotion with hypoallergenic properties would fit your needs. I think Jergins makes one my wife uses.

Unless you slather it on and have it all over your hands when you handle them (and then they lick it off their fur), I can't imagine a problem with any hand cream.
I use to use Aveeno oatmeal moisturiser cream and both Jan and Jinx would sneeze their heads off. I would put very little on but they just couldn't bear it. https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/prod ... hand-cream
Plus handling their food I was just in the market for very safe cream. Lynx, will look into that cream! Thanks sef, Lynx, and Renonvsparky for your replies.
This doesn't have to do with hand cream but a few months ago I received a sample of Elemis Day Cream. One morning I decided to use it and I immediately realized that it was so heavily rose scented that it made me nauseous. I washed it off and a few minutes later went into my pigs room. They were walking around and just grazing on their hay. Almost immediately they sniffed the air and ran into their hideys. It was just so surprising to me that even with the cream being washed off they could still smell that heavy odor and they found it so unpleasant.
That was the first time I ever noticed that they were bothered by the scent of any beauty cream or lotion that I used. It sure made me aware of how sensitive their respiratory systems are. I have always used All Free & Clear detergent for their fleece. Now I'm very careful of any scented product that I might use when I am handling my pigs.

If they can’t stand the way I smell, they will keep their distance!
Went to K-Mart today waiting at service desk and this damn woman was so close to me (a) she kept bumping into me and (b) I could feel her breath on my neck. What happened to 1 trolley distance when shopping??? Thanks for the reply ItsaZoo.
