Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream

A few months back I started using the Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream, which came as a freebie with a magazine. 

The Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream, which claims to be rich moisturising and "velvetifying", all while being 90% natural, with no parabens, sulpahtes, petroleum, mineral oil, silicones, dea, pegs, propylene glycol, artificial fragrances or colours. 

As the description says it is quite rich, so it has taken me ages to use it up as I didn't end up reaching for it as often as I would like because I didn't love the greasy feeling it can leave my hands with. For that reason, I mostly use it before going to bed as I won't be needing to use my hands and the grasyness won't matter. 

It contains glycerin, shea butter, sweet almond oil, beeswax, kukui seed oil, lanolin, rose flower oils and a series of essential oils including palmarosa, camomile, clary sage, bergamot and ylang ylang. 

The scent isn't strong and reminds me of baby products, it might be the palmarosa oil but I can't quite put my finger on it - it's not the typical commercial baby powder scent, but it's a soft, calming scent. 

Because of the heavy, rich ingredients, the Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream is a hand cream best suited for very dry skin or to use just before bed as the texture isn't ideal to leave on the skin during the day (unless you like leaving hand prints everywhere). 

Have you tried this hand cream?
