Bee Gentle Gardener's Hand Cream

Although I don't do gardening I have horses, this stuff is amazing! I also use the gardeners soap, which gets rid of that ground in dirt, then this stuff makes my hands feel like I won't snag my tights!

My mum (she does do gardening) keeps stealing it so I have given her a set for her house, makes a good pressie.

Seriously though, I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes.

I have tried some of their other products too, their honey is to die for! especially the chocolate girls! ;o)

I received a pot of the wonderful Bee Gentle Gardener's Hand cream as a present and my first impression was that the smell was wonderful and was like the herb garden I had just been tending - lavender, thyme, rosemary, and tea tree, although the tea tree is not so overpowering as you find it in some products. The feel of it on the hands is very nice and it absorbs relatively quickly so you are not walking around frightened of touching anything for fear of leaving greasy smudges everywhere.

The cream is infused with calendula which as I recall is something my mother used to use on sore bits longer ago than I'm prepared to admit here. And it works. Minor cuts and grazes seem to heal much faster now I use this cream and my hands don't look like they've spent all day in the mud - even though they usually have. I even suggested my husband use it, he's a builder, and after using it for a week his hands look like they have never seen manual work. OK an exaggeration, but they feel like soft (strong) leather and not like sandpaper.

Since getting this cream I have also bought some of the other Bee Gentle products - the Peppermint foot cream and peppermint muscle rub are both fantastic but I'll write these reviews elsewhere.

The hand cream is a product I love and I do recommend it to my friends and to you

PS I nearly forgot, it doesn't contain any parabens which I'm told is a good thing as they are thought to cause cancer.
