This is a new launch from Fitglow, and I’m so happy they created a hand cream! If you’re familiar with their “Cloud” products, you also know how amazing they smell, without the use of synthetic fragrances, or even essential oils! I usually stay away from most scented hand creams, because they end up irritating my dry, cracked hands, but this hand cream is perfect if you are like me! Fitglow uses Bitter Orange Extract and Geranium Extract to achieve the heavenly scent of this hand cream. This is a hydrating yet ultra fast absorbing hand cream; your skin soaks it right up and instantly looks 10x better.

Osmia Naked Unscented Hand Cream
*best unscented hand cream*
Osmia is well known for their hand creams in the natural beauty community. Their Naked Hand Cream is unscented and perfect for sensitive hands. What I really love about this hand cream is that it creates a protective barrier over your skin, so even when you wash your hands, you hands won’t feel stripped after! This also means you won’t need to constantly reapply it. Since Organic Aloe Vera is the first ingredient in Osmia’s Hand Creams, I’ve found it to be really healing and calming. Most of the ingredients are organic in this hand cream, and some of the star ingredients are: Aloe Vera, Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Kukui Seed Oil, and Shea Butter (all organic). In addition to this unscented hand cream, Osmia has scented options: Lavender Grapefruit and Sandalwood Ginger. It’s also Switch Natural approved, which means the ingredients super duper clean.

It also absorbs into the skin and gives your hands a glowy, healthy finish. The scent is very calming and subtle, thanks to a blend of Fragonia Oil, Rose Geranium Oil, Orange Fruit Water, and Plum Oil. 70% of the ingredients are organic, and highlights include: Fragonia, Sea Buckthorn, Grape Seed Oil, Glycerin, and Madademia Oil.

True Botanicals Everything Rescue Balm
*best eco-friendly hand balm*
True Botanicals recently released this multi-purpose Everything Rescue Balm, and it has one of my favorite ingredients of all time: Calendula. I also had to include it also because it’s in a super eco friendly, fully recyclable metal tin. As this is a balm, it will be slightly greasier than a lotion or cream, so I love using this at night at putting cotton gloves over my hands to do a full healing treatment on my hands. This balm is great to use anywhere on the body where you have dryness or need a little TLC. The star ingredients of Everything Rescue Balm are: Calendula, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sesame Oil, Helichrysum Italicum Flower Oil, and Eucalyptus Oil. This balm is also Switch Natural approved, which means the ingredients super duper clean. Buy the True Botanicals Everything Rescue Balm here!
