    5 Stars Let these Bees Leave your Hands at Ease 06/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Intense moisturiser

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too much can leave hands feeling greasy

    I make a huge effort to take care of my hands, and I’m very particular about the products that I use. Having two children my hands are constantly in water, and the skin can become rather dry and sore if I don’t regularly moisturise. I find chemically perfumed hand creams cause irritation, and some hand creams make no difference to my skin whatsoever. I always opt for environmentally friendly products where possible. Burt’s Bees happens to be one of my favourite brands, as they produce a range of skin care products that are produced from natural ingredients that are environmentally friendly ... more

    3 Stars Hard and greasy but it works 27/07/2012

    Advantages Advantages Moisturises and softens skin really well, great for dry rough skin, unisex smell

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard to get any out at first, leaves hands greasy, slow to absorb

    A while ago I bought quite a few different products from Burt's Bees as I love their lipbalm tubes and was curious to try some of their other things for hands, feet and body. I do quite like the natural marketing of Burt's Bees and always thought of it as quite a nice and appealing brand, but in fact I have found their products to be quite a mixed bunch with some gems and some real rubbish. Initially I absolutely hated this product, the Burt's Bees Hand Salve, but over time it has started to grow on me. I regularly use hand creams and lotions to keep my hands in good condition, get some ... more

    4 Stars Softens the dry, cracked hands 06/12/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages natural ingredients, moisturising, softens dry hands

    Disadvantages Disadvantages strong scent, hard to open, feels greasy at first

    Burt’s Bees hand salve Burt’s Bees is an American company with skin care products made from natural ingredients. According to the company, Burt's Bee products are sulfate free, phalate free, animal friendly, paraben and petrochemical free. I discovered this brand recently when my previous flatmate gave me a beauty kit with samples. I have bought a few skin treatment items since then and I am really satisfied with their high quality. The Hands Salve is a treatment for rough hands. From the company it is introduced as a product ideal for farmers and for people that work with their hands. I have ... more

    4 Stars Hand Salve-ation 21/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages smells lovely, moisturising

    Disadvantages Disadvantages doesn't absorb easily

    I had liked the Burt's Bees Almond Milk and Beeswax hand cream on every point except for the smell, and I was keen to try this one, which was another of the hand creams I got in a small travel size. The hand salve comes in a yellow tub featuring a picture of a bearded man - Burt I assume. I was quite surprised when I saw the full sized tub of this in Boots, as it is huge - really wide, and doesn't look particularly convenient to be carrying around with you. When I took the seal off the tub and smelled the hand salve, I was really pleased that this one smelled a lot nicer. The hand salve is ... more

    3 Stars Salvation in a tin? Not for me. 31/05/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Sinks in easily, convenient tin, can be used on other parts of the body so multi-purpose

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Smells strongly and badly in use, didn't feel like it did much for me

    Another item in my Burt's Bees kit of minis, all of which I'm sure I'll get around to reviewing, was the hand salve. This is one of the products I remember seeing most often when browsing the brand online, so I was curious whether it would live up to my expectations. And those, by the way, are generally quite high while we're talking about Burt's Bees, a brand which puts out all-natural products that are just that bit different from your everyday, run-of-the-mill bath and body items. The hand salve comes in a metal tin containing 3oz, mine however is a pretty dinky 0.3oz mini version. The ... more
