pumpkin seed and licorice leaf extracts helps to even skin tone and fade the appearance of age spots on the hands.

Benefits :

I have been using this 118ml hand cream in office since mid May last year and still have about 40% contents remaining.
Desert Essence is a brand which I am not familiar with, but came across it in Iherb which prompted me to pick it up, since I sort of agreed with the ingredients in it.

The brand is certified to NSF Organic Standard
It does not contain Parabens, Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfates, Phthalates, Artificial Fragrances or Colors, Silicones, EDTA,
Glycol or Petroleum-based Ingredients, Phosphates and Animal Testing.
It is Vegetarian/Vegan, Wheat and Gluten Free, Recyclable, Biodegradable, Renewable Sources and Cruelty Free.

It has a musty-like scent which did not seem like pumpkin scent. In appearance, it looks thick but texture-wise, its light and sinks into the hands easily, leaving just a slight sheen but not to the extent that it will leave hand prints all over.


However, it left a powdery feel on the hands, without total moisturising. There is a drying after-feel which I did not quite like.

It scored 3.5 from 17 users on Makeupalley
