Product Description
An easily-absorbed cream that leaves hands beautifully moisturised, protected and cared for. The special blend of plant oils fight dryness, while Shea Butter leaves hands in tip-top condition. Made with 92% organic ingredients. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin
I am slowly migrating my usage more to organic and natural products and this is actually my first hand cream from the natural range. I used to baulk at spending more than $10 for a tube of hand cream but now, well I have changed my perspective. Not because I have got richer ( I am still being paid peanuts ) but I decided to spread my search for a good hand cream.
In Singapore, you can get it online from Kanga Organics or walk-in to one of their stockists.
I picked mine for $15.20 from Olive Ventures.
You can read more about Skin Blossoms here which is actually quite a new brand debuted in 2008.
The minimalistic packaging holds the shape of the tube pretty well. However the contents that comes out of the tube can be messy at times.
Because its pretty fluid, one squeeze on the tube when its full, gives you much more than desired. And when the contents in the tube are ending, you can squeeze and squeeze the tube but only air comes out. So one flick of the tube leads the contents flying out to your jeans or your top. Hilarious and silly, isn't it?
I am fine with the scent, nothing much to rave about. The contents are too runny and fluid, being my first hand cream that is actually opposed to what a cream is.
And its so lightweight that while it gets absorbed into the hands pretty quickly, it does not moisturise as much as I wanted. I re-apply it quite frequently. There is no greasy or sticky after feel.
At 60ml, it can last me for about 1.5months based on daily usage in the office. A few times per day, in fact.
