This hand creme can be used on your hands (or any external area where you have dry skin) to re-hydrate your skin. Because of the scent, this product will most likely appeal to women, but could be used by people of any gender. As the product is travel-sized, it is appropriate for trips by plane. It fits nicely in most purses/handbags.

ALLERGIES: The scent of this lotion is almond-coconut, but according to its ingredients list it does not contain either of these foods. However, it does contain shea butter, the product of the shea nut, so those with tree nut allergies should most likely steer clear of this product. As I do not have any allergies myself, I cannot verify whether or not this product will affect people with allergies of any type.

This hand creme is silky smooth, and it is about the consistency you would expect from such a product. It is thicker than lotion but more liquid than body butter. It is very easy to get out of the tube, and it is not at all greasy or sticky. It absorbed into my skin well and pretty quickly, and I did not suffer from irritation or any other negative reaction, which was a relief because I have pretty sensitive skin! The texture is very silky, and it feels great rubbing it into your hands.

This product is marketed as having an almond-coconut scent. It does not smell at all artificial, as can sometimes be the case with scented lotions, but instead smelled very natural and "tropical". I found the smell to be a little strong when I was first applying it, but after it was absorbed into my skin it was very pleasant. It lingered for several hours.

I applied the creme to my hands and elbows in the morning when I woke up, and it kept my skin smooth and soft all day! The scent faded after about four hours, but was light and pleasant while it lasted. I do wash my hands frequently throughout the day, so that might have something to do with it. I did not have to reapply the product, but I found myself doing so anyway just because it felt so darn good!

The tube the product came in is cute and pretty elegant. The black and white pattern with subtle bits of pink is very classy, and it will not draw attention to itself. It is easy to open, and I have not had any problems with it leaking into my bag.
