SABON's hand cream is enriched with Shea Butter and Aloe-Vera to protect, relax and calm the skin. SLS and Paraben Free.
This is my first foray into Sabon, a UK brand with products made in Israel, using high quality natural ingredients such as salt, mud, algae (weeds) from the Dead Sea, and carefully select botanicals elements from the Mediterranean and beyond, such as Olive oil, Shea butter and essential oils from various plants and fruits. You can read more about the history here.
Sabon's hand creams come in many type of fragrances - Patchouli Lavender Vanilla, Musk, Green Rose, Almonds, Dead Sea, Lavender Apple, Ginger Orange, Citrus Blossom, Delicate Jasmine and in different variants - Hand Cream, Butter Hand Cream and Mineral Hand Cream.
I purchased Sabon Delicate Jasmine Hand Cream 30ml when there was a sale and there was no tester but was told that this was one of the popular ones. Unfortunately, I did not quite like the scent.
The fragrance hits me the moment I opened the cap and reminds me vaguely of Caudalie. The tube is beautifully illustrated with pretty prints and would make a great gift for friends or just sits prettily at the office desk.
However, I just couldn't get past the scent when it lingers on your hands. Its overpowering and choking as well as being unpleasant. I never know Jasmine to be that awful. Then again, scent can be pretty subjective so you could be liking it more than me.
The white coloured lightweight buttery formula applies easily, leaving a very slight shine behind but as with most hand creams I owned, they were never moisturising enough for my perpetually dry hands.
If you just need one for daily maintenance, they might do the trick or perhaps get their butter hand creams which are said to be more heavy duty.
