Burts Bees Farmers Friend Hand Salve, 3-Ounce Tin (Pack of 3)

I love this stuff and recommend it to anyone with dry hands. It is slightly greasy when you first apply it but at a little massaging it is not too bad. I love the fresh herbal scent and use it on my hands, elbows and feet. Everyone I recommend it to loves it!

Best solution I have found for dry hands. Takes time for the product to be absorbed so be sure to apply when you have no planed activity in order to get the full benefit of using the product. I apply just prior to going to bed.You need a very small amount, about enough to cover your thumb nail. That said the container lasts several months.

It works, smells medicinal/herbal, very greasy. Im not expecting no grease feeling, but this is like playing with vegetable oil.

I had a 5-6 month period with extremely dry skin. This stuff worked like a charm. Very happy with it. One tin lasted over 3 months of daily use - you really dont need much to cover a large area. I would use about one pea sized drop for my hands and face and forearms once or twice daily. Bonus - my wife loved the smell too!

An excellent hand cream.

I have always had the worst dry, chapped hands during the winter months. This is the only product that I have found that can prevent that from happening. Has a very unique scent which again cannot really be described using words. The product is practically solid at room temperature. I rub my hands of the surface and heat it up a little and then apply on my the back of my hands so I can control how much does on. I keep a can at home, at the office, and one in my bag. Great proudct !!!

Skin care

First, I have been using this product for at least five years. Like other reviewers, I liked it, but found that it was a bit greasy for my taste. I would apply it at night and then put on gloves to keep it on my hands and off my sheets. However, I had an inspiration one day that if this product is too greasy but my Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is not greasy enough... It was a classic light bulb moment! So, shortly after every shower, I apply a thin layer of Burts Bees Hand Salve followed by a dab of the (unscented) Aveeno product which seals it in. I know, I know, not as natural, but the Aveeno is unscented and the combination WORKS! I use the two products every day on my hands, below the knees including my feet and a couple of other places. The dry red patches around my elbows have been long gone. Regarding the ingredients: this product is 100% natural according to its label. Sweet almond oil is listed as the first ingredient. That oil is not cheap, but it has great healing qualities. The essential oils are lavandin, rosemary and eucalyptus. Lavandin is a cheaper-to-produce cousin of lavender that smells more herbal and camphoraceous. With these three pronounced camphoraceous oils in there, some might find it masculine. I happen to LOVE the smell of this product, but some reviewers have found it objectionable and too strong. At least it is *natural.* And these essential oils all have their therapeutic qualities. Also, as all essential oils are volatile, the smell quickly dissipates when they are put on warm skin. Some have complained that this product is too hard out of the container. For the first use, I give the center a little dig, scooping out a bit with the back of my fingernail. It is easy from there. As a gardener, I appreciated the suggestion of one reviewer to put this product on *before* gardening so that cleanup is a breeze. In my experience, this pack of three will last me one year with daily use as I outlined.

Very masculine scent....ok, my wife likes it too. Only con is the price. Be careful as it doesnt soak into your skin as rapidly as many other products. I like that about it.

I bought this for my wife since I couldnt get her normal hand cream from bath & body works. She really likes this one as well.
