Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream


Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream
By Sally S.

Packaging
The Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream comes in a blue glass jar inside a recyclable box. The packaging is simple and practical.

Application
The Trevarno Olive and Almond Hand Cream is a soft light textured cream. The product moisturized well and absorbed quickly into my hands. The initial hit of fragrance from the lavender and geranium oils was not over powering and after a few minutes of using the product I completely forgot about the smell and that I was wearing hand cream. As the product absorbs well which to me is critical for a hand cream, (there’s no point having a product that then stops you from getting on with things), it does leave a protective layer on the skin which felt good.

Ingredients
The ingredients list of this Trevarno product is refreshingly short and organic, the olive oil, jojoba, beeswax and cocoa butter combine beautifully to make this nourishing cream with a gentle hit from the essential oils and lavender water. Once again with Trevarno the product only comes in a 30ml pot with a four month life once opened which re enforces the fresh nature and small batches of products which are made by hand.

Results
After using the Trevarno Hand Cream for a few days my hands felt silky soft and my cuticles (which had been in need of some TLC) were greatly improved in appearance.

Pros:
It softened my dry cuticles a treat.
The light fragrance was pleasant and not distracting.
Ideally sized jar to keep in my handbag or on the desk.
Absorbed quickly allowing me to get on with tasks.
Lovely simple ingredients.

Cons:
It is a small jar for hand cream and would certainly not go off before you finished using it.
