Planet Botanicals Ugandan Shea Butter Hand Cream, Marula with Cape Rose, 4 Ounce

I love this scent and cream is rich and silky and absorbs well. Long lasting deep moisture. Love it!

Bottom line: the Cape Rose hand cream is creamy enough to hydrate extremely chapped hands, absorbs easily with residue/grease, and the scent, while strong, is clearly derived from high quality essential oils rather than artificial fragrance. I've tested dozens of hand creams, and this is one of the very few that I've repurchased.My biggest gripe with most hand creams is consistency: they're alternately too greasy, too runny or simply don't absorb. I have hands that are dry year round but crack and bleed during New England winters. This cream has a rich consistency, almost like a good eye cream. It absorbs well so you're not still smearing it over everything ten minutes after application.The Cape Rose scent is amazing - I've tested some of this brand's other scents and they're just not as rich or complex. It is strong enough to be a subtle perfume.I am usually sensitive to heavily fragranced products, but I am not irritated by this. Other people might find it too overpowering.Used regularly, it definitely helps combat drying heat and harsh weather.

I have very dry skin patches on my legs during winter (my whole life like clockwork) and nothing I've tried has been very long lasting in relief, even medicated balms. I recently discovered marula oil in some hair care products that have done wonders for my dry highlighted hair, so I began searching for lotions with marula oil. There really aren't that many...ha. So I tried this product and I feel it's helping significantly. The smell is too strong for me and I really don't care for it. So I just use this in small patches on my worst dry skin areas in the morning and just before bed at night. I can make it through the day without any itchy flare ups! It's wonderful.
