Gardeners’ Hand Balm

Gardening can play a positive role in enhancing your mental health and quality of life. But it can also be hard work and tough on your hands. Scented with lavender, rosemary and peppermint, our nourishing gardeners’ hand balm is handmade using Fairtrade shea butter and responsibly-sourced beeswax.

Beeswax can provide a protective layer on your skin, helping it to preserve its own moisture. This hand balm is also made with Apricot Kernel oil, which contains a high number of vitamins, such as vitamins C and E, which work together to help nourish dry hands. And, it has a high omega-9 content which helps to give your skin a lovely satin-like feel.

The lavender essential oil in this balm is rich in antioxidants and draws out toxins that may have gotten into the skin through the soil, providing a welcome detox for your hard working hands. Fragrant rosemary essential oil helps support healthy circulation, a necessity for those cold days out in the garden.

Other ingredients include Shea Butter, for that moisturising punch; Grape seed oil, for its restorative qualities; Peppermint oil, for its cleansing and soothing properties; and Grapefruit oil, for its antimicrobial nature.

This hand balm would make a fantastic gift for a green-fingered friend, along with a matching bar of Gardeners’ soap or Gardeners’ bath salts.
