Hand Cream - Manuka & Hemp - 60ml

Rich Care with a Silky, Modern Finish

 

This beautifully considered hand cream strikes an impressive balance between serious skin repair and a light, elegant sensory experience—no small feat for a product designed to stand up to daily washing, weather exposure and hard-working hands.

 

At the heart of the formula is a soothing botanical base of Manuka, Rose, Chamomile and Aloe hydrosols, which immediately sets a calming tone. The texture feels cushiony from the outset, yet never heavy, thanks to a clever pairing of humectants and lightweight emollients. Zemea® Propanediol draws moisture into the skin without tackiness, while niacinamide (Vitamin B3) supports barrier repair and helps hands look smoother and more even over time. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and allantoin add an extra layer of comfort, making this especially well suited to dry, stressed or frequently sanitised skin.

 

Where this cream really shines is in its skin feel. Traditional richness is provided by glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol, butter pearls and a touch of candelilla wax, but these are expertly balanced with modern esters such as cetearyl isononanoate and isopropyl myristate. The result is a cream that feels indulgent on application yet absorbs quickly, leaving hands soft and protected rather than greasy. Hemp seed oil brings a dose of essential fatty acids, while Olivem 300 and Ecosilk® MB lend a refined, silky glide that rivals far more conventional luxury formulations.

 

A subtle conditioning finish comes from polyquaternium-7, which smooths the skin surface and enhances the after-feel without any residue. Texture is clean and stable thanks to a low level of transparent xanthan gum, and preservation is handled efficiently with NatP 9010X, allowing the botanical ingredients to shine.

 

The scent is understated yet sophisticated: Lavender, Cedarwood and Frankincense combine to create a calm, spa-like aroma that feels grounding rather than perfumed—perfect for frequent use throughout the day.

 

The verdict:
This is a thoughtfully engineered hand cream that delivers real nourishment with a modern, fast-absorbing finish. It will appeal to anyone who wants hands to feel genuinely cared for, not coated—luxurious enough for a bedside ritual, yet practical enough to live by the sink or in a work bag.
