Body Balm: Helping Hands Balm (CV)

One of the best ways to protect yourself from all kinds of diseases is to wash your hands often. But all that scrubbing can dry out your skin. Our organic hand cream is formulated with moisturizing coconut oil, cocoa butter, and soothing botanicals to soothe and soften hardworking hands or any patch of dry skin.

Think about the daily assault on your hands. We wash, dry, (often sanitize) and repeat this process over and over. Yes, your hands do a lot of work for you, so let our Helping Hands Balm do some hard work for your hands by providing the daily TLC they need.

This ultra-rich, ultra-moisturizing organic hand cream, brimming with nourishing plant oils, cocoa butter, beeswax, and soothing botanicals, is the perfect solution for overworked hands as it hydrates, soothes, and softens hands that do work.

2 fl oz Jar

Apply to your hands in the morning, throughout the day, and before bed. Better yet, apply it to any area that needs some love including feet, elbows, and knees.

• Hydrates dry, thirsty skin
• Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin
• Helps soothe and calm skin

Our rich hand balm is better than commercial hand lotions which are mostly water--often up to 90%. While these lotions may give temporary relief, once the water evaporates the dry, itchy skin quickly returns. No water not only means that a little balm goes a long way, but also means no preservatives. Commercial creams and lotions often contain synthetic chemicals that contribute nothing to help and may even worsen problem skin.

Shea Butter Note
The Shea Butter used here is unrefined and has not been bleached or deodorized.

Pure unrefined shea butter has an earthy, nutty, smokey scent that ranges from mild to strong and can be quite pungent. Since the shea butter is a natural, unrefined product it retains its natural scent, color, and nutritional benefits. The scent and color of unrefined shea often vary from batch to batch.

Read this Shea Butter Tutorial which explains the various types of shea butter as well as why Chagrin Valley believe that the benefits of unrefined shea butter far outweigh the cons of its smokey, pungent scent.
