You usually can’t go wrong with hand cream because it’s a basic product that should moisturize the skin and absorb quickly to not have greasy hands. I got this hand cream from Yves Rocher because I like their hand and feet products and I wasn’t wrong.

The cream has a nice texture, not too thick and not too light and it comes in a generous quantity as it’s a 75 ml tube. It’s a little bit more expensive than other drugstore hand creams but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that it’s overpriced.

The natural active ingredient is the arnica extract that comes from certified organic plantation owned by the company in La Gacilly, France. It’s rich in antioxidants and it has healing properties, making it a nice addition in a product designed to protect and moisturize the skin and the nails. I also like the addition of shea butter, rapeseed oil and rose extract.

I know this is not an all-natural hand cream but I always liked they way Yves Rocher mixes natural and synthetic ingredients in their formulas and I would recommend this hand cream. I don’t have extremely dry skin or other other issues, so I don’t know how it works for those, but for a “normal” hand cream I really liked it.
