Morphology
The meaning 'a lotion applied to the hands' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hand' (the target body part) with 'lotion' (a skin‑moisturizing liquid) in a common noun–noun compound. This compositional and productive pattern is cross‑linguistically frequent and follows predictable English compounding rules, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase hand lotion paints a simple picture: a lotion for your hands. Imagine squeezing a small bottle and rubbing cream into your hands to stop them drying. So, it means 'a lotion you put on your hands to keep them soft'.
