Morphology
The meaning 'a cream designed to moisturize and protect the skin of the hands' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hand' (the body part) with 'cream' (a topical skin preparation). This noun–noun compound denotes the target/purpose and follows a common compositional pattern found across languages (e.g., 'crema de manos', 'crème pour les mains'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Hand cream is a simple name made by joining hand and cream because people wanted a thicker cream just for the hands, which get dry from work and cold. That's why it means 'a cream to soften and protect the hands'.
