Burt's Bees Almond & Milk Hand Cream - 2 Ounce Jar (Pack of 2)

I came across this in high school and fell in love with scent. I used it a lot knowing nothing about hand creams. I still buy it, still in love with the scent. It’s a good 99% natural hand cream.. made with Beeswax, vitamin E and aloe. The Beeswax keeps it from absorbing immediately, and makes it a bit thick. But, knowing that, you use it in small amounts and your hands stay looking forever young! It comes in a cute little jar that I wish lasted forever. Burt’s Bees, make me a candle in this scent, please!

Works wonders on cuticles, heals and hands in general. Will continue to purchase because it's the best I've found. The jar is small, but you only need a small amount of cream to work wonders. My only issue is it smells. I don't know if it is just the jars I have received or if this is they typical smell. For some reason I thought it would smell better because, well, it is a Burt's Bees product. Regardless of the smell I will buy it again, but I am not sure that I would buy it for just anyone or give it to just anyone. Keeps my skin soft and moisturized.

I have been using this product for years and I simply come back over and over again for the results. It’s a ticker product and extremely moisturizing. I personally love the smell and it gets extra bonus points from my side since the fragrance is all naturally derived. I use it a tons of my heel and elbow area and it always gives the results needed. Another bonus point is the glass jar that actually lasts a while 🤪 As many reviews note that it takes a while for the skin to absorb the cream, I actually I am okay with it, since I rather have a clean ingredient that absorbs slowly than a fast working one with tons of chemical added. I simply love the subtle almond scent, which also lasts a bit on your skin.

I'm obsessed with this product to say the least. I'm "I hope they never ever discontinue this product" kind of obssesed just to give yall an idea about how great I think this product is. The packaging is also very cute plus both the bottle and the cap are recyclable! ♻️ Personally I'm going to keep it for decoration when the product runs out! This cream can be used for your knees, elbows and hands to keep it moisturized. DO NOT use it on your face ESPECIALLY if you have oily skin. Also if you do apply it on your hands then make sure it's during a time that you aren't busy because this product is meant to keep moisture in your skin so it won't fully absorb which can make things slippery sometimes. Keep in mind this product is nutrient rich so it's easy to over do it ... MoreI'm obsessed with this product to say the least.

Keep in mind this product is nutrient rich so it's easy to over do it so only apply a small amount:) This cream smells like sweet almond but I'm not picky about smells and I have a high tolerance to them so I had my sister who has sensitivity to fragrances test it out. She said it has a mild fragrance but it did make her throat feel a little Itchy and that if she smelled it for a long time then it would definitely give her a headache! So I don't reccomend this for people who are sensitive to smell! Overall I 100% recommend this product! It has a beautiful formula, earth safe packaging and affordable too! I bought this at Walmart for only $10 :) INGREDIENTS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION: Sweet almond oil, beeswax, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, non fat dry milk, honeysuckle flower extract and soybean oil 🍯 (these aren't the only ingredients)

Carrageenan is safe for skin use - not safe for digestive consumption

Why Do Some People Want to Avoid Carrageenan? It’s always important that research is done on ingredients so that we know what we are using is safe for us. With this in mind, there was a small study done in 1997 that linked carrageenan to possible digestive issues.² However, it has been found that the tests were done with a form of carrageenan that is not approved by the FDA called poligeenan (also known as degraded carrageenan). This version of synthetic carrageenan is made by subjecting seaweed to intense temperatures and then boiling it in acid.² This confusion has led to some people believing that the carrageenan used in food and cosmetics is the same, which is where the misunderstanding lies. To lay your worries to rest, carrageenan is on the FDA safe list and ... MoreWhy Do Some People Want to Avoid Carrageenan?

To lay your worries to rest, carrageenan is on the FDA safe list and is considered so safe that it is used in infant formula. If it is safe for babies, it is safe for you. Plant-based Goodness for Your Skin When you look at natural skin care products like Skin MD Natural, you will see that they contain carrageenan because it is safe, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), it’s plant based but most of all, it is beneficial for the skin. It is good to be aware of the research that is done on ingredients that you are using on your skin and to be aware of the accurate facts. When it comes to carrageenan in skin care, there are no risks. There is only smoothing, moisturizing, plant-based goodness to be found. ¹ https://www.skincarelab.org/carrageenan-in-skincare/ ² https://www.foodingredientfacts.org/facts-on-food-ingredients/sources-of-food-ingredients/carrageenan/ Source: https://www.glovesinabottle.com/blogs/news/carrageenan-in-skin-care#:~:text=²%20This%20confusion%20has%20led,is%20used%20in%20infant%20formula.

Ending up being what I was trying to avoid…

I bought this because I needed hand cream, the reviews were promising, the ingredients sounded fantastic and there was a cute cow on it.The jar and packaging is cute. The smell of the cream from the jar seemed okay. Not overpowering, but doesn’t smell particularly great.I washed my hands with antibacterial soap, and then I scooped some of the lotion up and started to rub it into my hands. The scent of the lotion that wasn’t so great in the first place actually got worse upon application.The feeling of the lotion on my skin was thick and slick. I felt like it wasn’t absorbing. I hate that feeling on my skin. I like it to feel soft and comfortable, which this product did not do. I had to wash it off because I hated the feeling so much.

Greasy, messy and not hydrating

Sooooo greasy. Not something you want on your hands. Grease is all over my phone and everything I touched after applying this. Also, the fragrance is very unnecessary. I wanted to like this but it’s a no for me. It did not hydrate my skin at all. Just felt like greasy residue sitting on my hands and making everything I touch greasy in the process. I even tried using less to see if that helped and nope it doesn’t matter how much you use.

One of my Favirite Products Ever!

My absolute brand new favorite. A deep, almond-scented quencher for dry, thirsty hands. I've never loved a hand product so much. A-1. Absolute top-notch. Decadent, delectable. Not to mention that the superb item arrived quickly. Great seller and product all the way around. Couldnt be happier with it ^^

Softens and hydrates hands

I love Burt’s bees products and have used many of their lip balms with great success. This almond milk and beeswax hand cream is fantastic for dry hands and sensitive skin. It smells like almonds, so divine and contains sweet almond oil and beeswax to hydrate my hands perfectly. I love the glass jar it comes in, it’s handy and makes it easy to use to scoop the cream out. The consistency is quite thick so this is perfect to apply to hands at night before bed to wake up with smooth soft hands. A little goes a long way and it’s reasonably priced so it’s great value. I will buy this product again and would recommend it
