Trevarno Hand Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Olive and Almond hand cream
By Joanna E.

Packaging: The Trevarno Olive and Almond hand cream comes in a deep blue glass jar with silver lid and sophisticated black labelling. This is contained in a box decorated with a design inspired by the peacocks on the Trevarno estate. The ingredients aren’t listed on the jar itself, but on the box. All packaging is recyclable.

Application: This has to be one of the nicest hand creams I have ever come across! The texture of this Trevarno Olive and Almond hand cream is very rich and sumptuous, making it a joy to use! It almost has a sheen to it just sitting in the jar! I only needed to use a small amount each time as it is so rich. It also quickly soaks into your skin leaving an almost silky feel on the surface, but there is no oiliness or stickiness remaining on the skin as is the case with some creams. I kept wanting to use it for the sheer pleasure of it on the skin. In this cold weather my hands have been quite dry, but after only a few applications of the Trevarno Olive and Almond hand cream, they are dry no longer. The aroma is quite subtle, rather than overpowering and you are left with the gentle scent of lavender and geranium.

Ingredients : The Trevarno Olive and Almond hand cream contains some very impressive ingredients, such as almond, olive, jojoba and cocoa butter, all chosen for their benefits to the skin, plus the aromas of lavender, geranium and grapefruit. All but one of the ingredients are listed as organic and the product is suitable for vegetarians. The cream doesn’t contain long lasting preservatives, so only has a short life of 4 months once the jar is opened. But that is a point in its favour, showing that natural ingredients are more important than chemicals to prolong shelf life. And with a cream as lovely to use as this one is, there is no way my jar is going to last as long as 4 months anyway!

Results: After only a few applications of the Trevarno Olive and Almond hand cream, my dry skin has much improved and has an almost silky feel to it. Just the tactile feel of the cream is enough to make you feel good, and then you have the positive effect upon the skin!

Pros: Extremely hydrating to the skin and a joy to use!

The company source their ingredients in a sustainable way and have excellent organic credentials, being one of the first in this country to be given certification by the Organic Farmers and Growers Association.

All products in the range are made on the Trevarno Estate in Cornwall and visitors can see where the processes take place, which I plan to do if ever I have the chance to visit Cornwall.

Cons: I can’t think of any!
