A’kin Hand, Nail & Cuticle Cream Reviews

A’kin Hand, Nail & Cuticle Cream By Nicky B Packaging: Recyclable plastic tube with a black plastic lid Application: A’kin Hand, Nail & Cuticle Cream is extremely moisturising without being greasy (a rare find in a hand cream) and is absorbed really quickly. Ingredients: Contains essential oils and vitamins B5 and E to protect hands from the signs of ageing. Also includes persea gratissima oil (from the avocado, great for dry skin) and simmondsia chinensis oil (from the jojoba shrub to calm and soothe hands). I love anything that includes shea butter and this hand cream has this too. Shea butter is a natural fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree by crushing, boiling and stirring. The tree only grows in the wild, and can take up to 50 years to mature (living up to 300 years!). Africans have known about the benefits of shea butter for thousands of years. It’s an amazing mosturiser because it contains so many fatty acids which are important to help skin to retain moisture and elasticity. It helps to heal burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, and stretch marks. It may also help diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin, promoting cell renewal, and increasing circulation. Results: Leaves hands feeling really soft and cuticles well-moisturised. Pros No chemical nasties: free from sulphates, parabens, ethoxylates, propylene glycol, petrochemical cleaners, silicones, phthalates, mineral oils, DEA and artificial colours Vegan No animal ingredients or testing Cons I’m not that keen on the smell of this cream, I don’t know why as I normally love the Scent of lavender and geranium. I’d like to try the unscented hand cream A’Kin also Produce. A’kin Hand, Nail & Cuticle Cream (£10) and A’kin Skincare Products are available at naturisimo.com
