Reviews

Pleasant smelling and hydrating

"I went to my local The Body Shop yesterday to use my birthday voucher and whilst I was there, I tried this hand cream. The shea hand cream has a lovely scent, it reminds me a little of a men’s cologne. It absorbed well into my hands and wasn’t greasy. The scent of the cream stayed on my hands until I next washed them."

Work great on my hand

"Very hydrated creamy handcream. Work great on my hand for winter. Smell nice too"

BaoP (5/5)

A Great Hand Cream

"I like to keep a small cream tube in my bag to help with dry skin during the winter, and this product does a great job of that. The scent is present but not overwhelming and the texture is not too thick or too thin, the perfect texture for a hand and face cream. I would definitely recommend this product."

M. V. (5/5)

This hand balm saved my hands

"I suddenly developed a skin issue in my hand, and my dermatologist diagnosed me with a form of dermatitis triggered by dishwashing liquids, laundry liquids and so on, and prescribed me medication. It wasn't resolved with medicine and actually became worse, and then I was told by my dermatologist to pause the medication regimen for a while and try argan or shea hand balms. I immediately reached body shop since I knew they had these hand balms. This shea hand balm and the now-discontinued argan hand balm worked like magic, controlling my condition and flare-ups, working better than the medication. Now I use it regularly to keep my condition under control. My skin loves it. Also, I really hope the Body Shop brings back the argan hand balm since it was so good. Please note that the above is my personal experience with the hand balm, and it should not be considered as medical advice of any sort."

"Honestly. . . I have one at my desk, one in my handbag, one in the lounge, one next to my bed. . . because they really help my dry skin i seem to get on my fingers in certain types of weather and from over washing. . . not to mention the smell!! Love!"
