hand | the most amazing relief for dry hands ever!

Details
Extended Product Description
Handcrafted to actually soothe dryness by actually helping hydrate rather then just band-aid dryness plus, it helps protect skin from the elements. Ahhhh!
Hand is 2 oz. of the perfect combination of plant oils and butter for the best hydration possible in a hand moisturizer. We don't use the term Lotion because it means a water/oil mixture and we never use water. Thus, you will only need a tiny bit. Really.
A favorite way to apply this in the winter (for those in cold climates) is to apply a dab of Hand Relief then put gloves on. When you arrive at your destination, hands are soft and hydrated. Works wonderfully to soften cuticles, also.
Your current hand cream will be so sad. Your hands, so happy.
Please Note: If you find Hand a tad gritty, it is because of the raw shea butter and coconut oil which are solid at room temperature. Most likely, Hand melted along the way and as it came back up to room temp, it solidified. This in no way affects the purity of the product. In fact, it is yet another way to know that we use pure ingredients and that our products are void of fillers and thickeners.

raw shea butter
Shea butter comes from the nuts of the shea tree (also known as the karite tree) which grows wild in Central and Western Africa, where it has been used as skin care for centuries because of it’s healing properties. Shea Butter absorbs quickly & is great for stretch marks, dry skin, cracked heels and more. It has also been clinically proven to have anti-aging properties, protection against inflammation and rapid healing for burns to minimize scarring. This nut is high in vitamins A and E and minerals. If you have a small cut or burn, immediately apply soothing shea butter to it. Shea butter also helps alleviate the pain from sunburns. For those with dry skin, raw shea butter may be the most naturally moisturizing product you will ever use. In addition, Shea Butter has natural sun-protection properties and anti-inflammatory agents. Regular users of pure, unrefined Shea Butter notice softer, smoother, healthier skin. Shea Butter has also been shown to help with skin conditions and irritations, skin allergies, fungal infections, blemishes, wrinkles, scars, scrapes, and more. The Shea Butter we use is produced by fair trade practices [a co-op of hardworking women] and organic standards.
sweet almond oil
People suffering from skin irritations can use Sweet Almond oil topically to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching which makes it a wonderful ingredient to reduce puffiness under eyes. A study conducted by Hamdard University in New Delhi, India, and published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology concludes that application of this oil on the skin not only protects the skin from harmful UV rays but also slows down the aging process. It's a great emollient, is absorbent and rich in vitamin E. It also contains magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D which packs it full of nutrients for our Renew lip & eye cream.
avocado oil
While avocado oil is considered a veggie oil, it is actually a fruit which yields a rich deep penetrating oil, full of vitamins A,D, and E, lecithin and potassium. It is high in sterolins, which are said to reduce age spots, help heal sun damage and scars. This natural oil penetrates the deep layers of skin allowing it to transport nutrients to the dermis for increased effectiveness. Because avocado oil has amazing emollient properties, it is ideal for mature skin while also relieving dryness and itching associated with psoriasis, eczema or other skin irritations.
In 2001, a study published in Dermatologyprovided evidence that avocado oil could be a long-term topical therapy for psoriasis. Plus, France has given avocado oil Rx status because of it's ability to counter the negative affects of arthritis. Now, this was when taken internally but remember, your skin absorbs what is put on it. Woohoo!
extra virgin olive oil
We all know that Olive oil is healthy to eat but do you know how nourishing it is on your skin? It is closer in chemical structure to Sebum, the skin’s natural oil, than any other plant oil. It has regenerative power that can stimulate the healing process. Because of Squalene in Olive oil, it has shown to increase elasticity of skin thus preventing sagging and leaving skin firmly toned with a youthful glow.
Olive oil can be used to soothe and heal skin irritations.
