Hand Creams & Body Lotions

Fragranced hand creams and hand and body lotions, from 50ml tubes small enough to live in a bag to 400ml pumps for the bedside. Several of the hand creams carry SPF15.

Hand cream is bought for the fragrance and kept for the size. A 50ml tube goes in a bag, the glovebox or a desk drawer and gets used ten times a day; a 400ml pump lives on the bedside or beside the kitchen sink and never travels. Most people want one of each, in the same scent, so the two do not argue with each other.

Several of the hand creams carry SPF15, which is worth having on the pair of hands that sit on a steering wheel through a New Zealand summer. Check the product page, since it is on some of the range rather than all of it.

Pair one with its matching wash and the basin starts to look composed rather than accumulated. The washes sit in Hand Wash & Body Wash.

Which size should I buy?
A 50ml tube for the bag and a larger pump for wherever you wash your hands most. Buying one of each in the same fragrance is what stops the scents clashing through the day.

Which ones have SPF?
Several of the hand creams carry SPF15 and it is noted on those product pages. It is not across the whole range, so check before buying if that is what you are after.

Do the fragrances match the candles and diffusers?
In several cases yes, since Ecoya and The Aromatherapy Co run the same scents across their ranges. The fragrance name on the product page is the thing to match.

Are they a safe gift?
One of the safest, because a hand cream is used up rather than kept, and nobody has to find a place for it. A boxed set of two makes it feel like more than it costs.
