Natural Instinct Softening Hand and Nail Cream

This is a medium thickness handcream that sinks into my skin well. The smell is the standout aspect of it with the scent of Wild Rose and Magnolia. The Natural Instinct company have stayed true to their name and philosophy by using 100% pure natural oils as the fragrance, and it smells wonderful without being too overpowering. It contains Hemp, Grapeseed and Jojoba oils but it's not too oily and something I use more often during the day as I prefer a heavier handcream for bedtime.

I use so much hand cream, it has almost become a reflex.  My hands work hard, gardening, washing up, cleaning, even at my mostly desk job at work, it seems like I’m always cleaning something - my desk, my phone with antiseptic wipes and my sensitive skin is a little prone to dermatitis (I should probably wear gloves but who has time?).  My skin gets very dry!  I made the switch several years ago to all natural and cruelty-free products and it seems like the ranges are just getting better and better.  Natural Instinct is one of my mainstays and their hand cream is really high quality and helps keep the dry skin at bay.  It’s naturally derived without any nasty parabens, petroleums (yuck), mineral oils, or palm oil from unsustainable sources, and is completely cruelty free, with ethical practices and recyclable packaging.  The cream contains Shea Butter and Sweet Almond Oil and provides a good barrier to limit the amount of moisture you lose.  It’s in a very convenient, easy to throw in the bag tube, and absorbs very quickly and easily.  The scent is very subtle and light - just a hint of vanilla and almond, and it leaves the skin soft and comfortable.  The price is fantastic too - very reasonable.  This is my go to hand cream.

I keep a tube of hand cream in my work bag at all times and recently this one has been my go-to. I love how soft and hydrated it leaves my hands! My skin never feels greasy after using this and I can start typing on my laptop or flipping a page on my book almost immediately. That goes to show how quickly the hand cream absorbs! I also like that it has a thin consistency because I tend to go for lighter hand creams in Summer.  Pros: - Leaves skin feeling hydrated and soft - No greasy residue - Absorbs quickly - Light texture - perfect for Summer - Easy to carry in handbag  - Inexpensive Cons: - Makes no difference with my nail beds

I love this product - the first best thing being that its totally natural, followed by smelling like soft clouds and moisturising my hands better than any other product! It also really hydrates my nails and leaves them and my hands soft and smooth. I'd recommend this product to anyone!

Really lovely subtle scent, and absorbs well into skin. No residue and stickiness left over.  Very good price for the amount, however because of the thinner consistency I used more than I usually would with a thicker richer cream, so it oesn't last as long as some other hand creams. I didn't see or feel a difference with my nails though my hands felt supple and hydrated.

I was gifted this hand and nail cream and had never heard of this brand before. I really liked this cream it immediately softens hands and nails and feels really nourishing and hydrating, it sinks into skin quite quickly without a nasty greasy feeling. My hands feel really soft after using this, its a great price, smells nice, a great product I would recommend
