Soap & Glory Hand food Hand cream

Grrr I wrote this review and it never saved it so here goes again :(

I only found out about Soap & GLory Products because my mum got a big gift set of the stuff for Chritmas and well lets just say I helped her use everything. I am not a fan of hand cream really as I always find them to be greasy or smell funny and just dont like them on my hands to be honest, but this was completely different and definately converted me!!

I now use all of the Soap & Glory products I can get my hands on and love them all, they smell devine.

You can check out their products on www.soapandglory.com / www.soapandglorycosmetics.com

This handcream costs 5 pounds for 125ml on the website and is the same price with Boots but you will be happy to hear that currently and a lot of the time Boots have it on a 3 for 2 deal which is great for stocking up :)

The tube states: The most astonishing hand cream ever? You decide - Non greasy hydrating hand cream with shea butter, macademia oil & marshmallow (sounds good enoug hto eat to me and smells it as well!)

There is also instructions for use: Mend a Hand? Apply hand food hand cream as often as you want to soften, smooth and soothe dry, chapped or otherwise hampered hands.

Warning: Please don't use this hand cream on irritated or damaged skin, and try to avoid getting it in your eyes. If somehow you do get it into your eyes rinse immediately with water.

Useful information from me - Underneath the part that states 125ml on the tube is a wee picture of an outline of a rectangle and a solid rectangle at an angle on top - this is mean to represent a picture of an open tub and there is 24M written beside it - basically this means that once opened this product will last for 24 months which is a long time!!

The cream is a product of the UK for Soap & Glory Cosmetics Co. and is made in London

The ingredients are as follows: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylene Glycol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Methylparaben, Parfum (Fragrance), Ethylparaben, Potassium Hydroxide, Dipropylene Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sorbitol, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Althaea Officinalis Root Extract, Geraniol, Morus Alba Leaf Extract, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Tocopherol, Propylparaben.

I have to say that the smell of this hand cream is one of the best things about it, and im guessing thats all down to the marshmallow its sweet but not sickly sweet and makes you want to reapply often, not because you need to but because you want to smell it some more :)

I get quite dry hands and as I work in an office typing and what not my hands are always in use, but this cream is like a wonder cream. It leaves my hands soft and smooth and it almost seems like there is an invisible protective barrier on my hands, like invisable gloves. It is not greasy and soaks into the hands well, it does not hinder me from doing any activities whatsoever the only thing is maybe right after you put it on if you use a touchscreen phone it can leave a wee smudge but this is easily wiped away. This cream is also good for protecting your hands in the winter time.

I would recommend this for anyone regardless of whether or not they need to use a handcream due to the lovely feeling it gives you (and if your not a hand cream fanatic the fact that it will last you a whole 2 years is a bonus) though I do warn the smell is very addictive and you might end up out of pocket from purchasing all of the soap & glory products like I do....and I defo know how good it smells because my hubby frequently tells me I smell yummy and that my skin is super duper soft - so there you go if it makes a man comment on something thats not football or sport related then it must be good hehe sorry for the sterotyping there men :P
