Lavender & Neroli Organic Handcream

I have had a love affair with Neroli oil for about 2 years now .

For those of you who don't know this amazing essential oil is produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. Think of how many flowers it must take to produce a single bottle of neroli oil.  Scent wise neroli perfume is surprising: a delicious harmony of floral and citrus. Its complex aroma fuses floral, citrus and green, deriving from the orange blossom and leaves of the bitter orange tree, with unique hints of honey and spices. The result is an essential oil that is airy, distinctive and utterly refreshing.

 

Neroli has a multitude of health benefits, but I chose it for my new hand cream because it is a hydration power house. It locks in moisture to the skin and protects your hands from drying out...amazing right  Not only does it intensely moisturise the skin and boosts the epidermis’ natural processes it also provides your skin with a protective barrier to ensure that your hands stay refreshed and hydrated for longer.

 

Pair it with the calming, healing power of lavender and you have a match made in heaven for winter skin. Lavender is well known for its plethora of skin benefits including but not limited to reducing redness. soothing inflammation and calming skin. Lavender can also speed healing of minor cuts, scrapes and burn

 

Then we come to the base which is made with ultra healing Aloe Leaf extract. The moisturizing effects of aloe can help alleviate dry, itchy skin. Organic Sunflower oil ( rich in Vitamin E) and deeply moisturising organic Cocoa and Shea Butter complete this hydrating and healing base.

 

So if you suffer from dry or irritated hands then this could well be a beneficial addition to your handcare routine.
